[cle-release-team] IE9 Compatability in 2.9

[May, Megan Marie]

Compatibility mode was supposed to be the stop-gap until 2.8.1 was released.    Given that we are in the beginning of the 2.9 release cycle, this seems like a perfect time to a) identify problems and b) fix them.  With more and more integrations occurring with BLTI I'm going to guess that some of those other systems might need the latest version of IE.

Also, did we ever resolved all the IE8 had issues?

>From what I remember, the major problem with IE9 was FCKEditor was broken and never getting fixed. Since we've upgraded to CKEditor that would be resolved. However I know that we're still running in compatibility mode so I doubt anyone has tested with the "real IE9".

So yes, trunk is still forcing compatibility mode, we probably could do without it, but QA would probably discover new things to fix in our code that we could fix.

I have not tested with the IE10 developer preview, but know that the compatibility flag still works. If there isn't anything that *needs* IE9 specifically and it all works in IE8 compatibility mode, I'd say we just wait until 2.10 or 2.9.1 to address this and mark it as a lower priority?

Good afternoon,
        I haven't been able to attend the last few release meetings so please forgive me if this has been discussed.

Where are we as a community at ensuring the IE9 is going to be supported for this release?    For instance, is trunk forcing compatibility mode?
