[WG: Sakai QA] [Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] Safari 4.0 and Sakai 2.6

[Noah Botimer]

There is also something to be said for the disproportionally high  
representation of Macs within incoming student bodies. General web  
trend figures are not likely to reflect accurately the "I just got my  
laptop (and first Mac) because I'm starting college" crowd. I don't  
think the figures of Safari on PC are especially affected by this  
now, but may be slightly bumped by the iTunes / iPod / iPhone  
popularity and connection.

Also, for the general record, Safari 3 (not just 4) does support  
FCKeditor and works reasonably well with Sakai 2.6 (not that I'm  
saying I've regression tested the whole suite). Michigan has been  
running with its updated FCKeditor for many months and does get some  
nontrivial Safari usage. Jeff or Steve could probably give an  
anecdote on trending.

Thanks,
-Noah
