[WG: Sakai QA] 2.9 Feature list

[Beth Kirschner]

There are still quite a few tools that have open JIRAs filed against IE9 -- that being said, I can see the value in having one QA server setup _not_ to emulate IE8 (https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-697). I believe the setting sakai.properties setting would be:  "sakai.X-UA-Compatible=". Thoughts?

This would mean that no extensive testing be done on anything like Safari 3 (Tiger), IE7 or Firefox 3.5. It would be good to know about any problems so they can be worked around or features disabled but I don't think we'd be putting much time into fixing issues for older browsers and it doesn't seem to help the community as much testing on less popular browsers.
