IE6 no more!

We're concerned about Internet Explorer 6. We recognize that this is still a used navigator, but it is becoming increasing difficult to support it and still produce a site that meets the expectations of modern users. Some quick hits on this:

IE6 is almost ten years old,
IE6 doesn't support new standards,
Google and YouTube no longer support IE6

In fact, there's a growing campaign to stop supporting IE6. This simple website provides a very concise case for why the Microsoft browser must be abandoned to promote innovation on the web: http://www.ie6nomore.com It then provides a call to action: embed a line of code that will tell your website visitors still using IE6 to switch to a modern browser.

What are your thoughts on this? Will it be possible to deliver a site that does not support IE6? We highly recommend this course of action, and have recently made an internal decision to stop supporting this browser.

An interesting links about the subject:

Looking forward to your response.

Wiki Syntax
Bold text __text__
Italic text 2 single quotes ('). ''text''
Underlined text ===text===
Colored text ~~#FFEE33:text~~ or ~~yellow:text~~. Will display using the indicated HTML color or color name. Color name can contain two colors separated by a comma. In this case, the first color would be the foreground and the second one the background.
Deleted text 2 dashes "-". --text--
Headings !heading1, !!heading2, !!!heading3
Show/Hide !+, !!- show/hide heading section. + (shown) or - (hidden) by default.
Autonumbered Headings !#, !!#, !+#, !-# ...
Table of contents {toc}, {maketoc} prints out a table of contents for the current page based on structures (toc) or ! headings (maketoc)
Horizontal rule ----
Text box ^Box content^
Centered text ::text::
Dynamic variables %Name% Inserts an editable variable
External links use square brackets for an external link: [URL], [URL\|link_description],[URL\|link_description\|relation] or [URL\|description\|relation\|nocache] (that last prevents the local Wiki from caching the linked page; relation can be used to insert rel attribute for the link - useful e.g. for shadowbox). For an external Wiki, use ExternalWikiName:PageName or ((External Wiki Name: Page Name))
Square Brackets Use [[foo] to show [foo].
Wiki References ((page)) or ((page\|description)) for wiki references , ((page\|#anchor)) or ((page\|#anchor\|desc)) for wiki heading/anchor references
Lists * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists, ;Word:definition for definiton lists
Indentation +, ++ Creates an indentation for each plus (useful in list to continue at the same level)
Tables \|\|row1-col1\|row1-col2\|row1-col3 row2-col1\|row2-col2\|row2-col3\|\|
Title bar -=Title=-
Monospace font -+Code sample+-
Line break %%% (very useful especially in tables)
Multi-page pages Use ...page... to separate pages
Non parsed sections ~np~ data ~/np~ Prevents wiki parsing of the enclosed data.
Preformated sections ~pp~ data ~/pp~ Displays preformated text/code; no Wiki processing is done inside these sections (as with np), and the spacing is fixed (no word wrapping is done). ~pre~ data ~/pre~ also displayes preformatted text with fixed spacing, but wiki processing still occurs on the text.
Comments ~tc~ Tiki Comment ~/tc~ makes a Tiki comment. It will be completely removed from the display, but saved in the file for future reference. ~hc~ HTML Comment ~/hc~ makes an HTML comment. It will be inserted as a comment in the output HTML; these are not normally displayed in browsers, but can be seen using "View Source" or similar.
Direction {r2l}, {l2r}, {rm}, {lm}Insert resp. right-to-left and left-to-right text direction DIV (up to end of text) and markers for langages as arabic or hebrew.
Special characters ~hs~ hard space, ~c~ ©, ~amp~ &, ~lt~ <, ~gt~ >, ~ldq~ “, ~rdq~ ”, ~lsq~ ‘, ~rsq~ ’, ~--~ —, ~bs~ \, numeric between ~ for html numeric characters entity

Because the Wiki paragraph formatting feature is on, all groups of non-blank lines are collected into paragraphs. Lines can be of any length, and will be wrapped together with the next line. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
