Is compatibility mode for IE still enabled for 2.9 testing?

Also, regarding browsers that are tested on since IE7 was mentioned,

The question comes up a lot on the lists and I think the QA team should make a decision and stick to only testing on a smaller set of the most popular modern browsers. 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.

At Michigan, the 3 most popular browsers as of 10/2011 are:
Chrome v14 (~30% traffic)
Safari 5 (~25% traffic)
IE 8/9 (~20%)

Firefox 6 & 7 (~15% traffic) and Firefox 3.6/4.0 (~10% traffic) are the 2 remaining.

Thanks!

Hi Rob,

I am attaching an export from JIRA containing relevant 2.9 permissions.  Here is a personal list of items that I think need testing emphasis:

1) Gradebook
   a) Drop highest / drop lowest
   b) Internationalization: set your language to ES in a course and update grades; go to Assignments and update a grad to "7,3" and see if it comes into gradebook
   c) Generate PDF from gradebook
   d) Test with students with really long names

2) Internationalization
   a) Set your course language to ES (new feature in Site Info)
   b) Look for dates and number entry that may not be internationalized
      i) Enter your numbers like they do in ES, "7,3" instead of 7.3

3) neoportal and new chat
    a) User testing for now
    b) Known issues with IE7 and below.  What about other browsers?

4) New trunk tools
    a) Mailsender
    b) Lesson Builder

5) Announcements
   a) Several regressions in 2.8
   b) Test delayed announcement email delivery
   c) Test reordering of announcements

6) Tests & Quizzes
   a) Several regressions in 2.8 related to the new Quick Publish (bypass Settings)
       i) Bypass settings and publish, then duplicate that assessment
   b) Respondus Lockdown Browser is now an option
       i) We may need someone to reach out to Respondus to see if we can get a license to test this
   c) Testing Respondus IMS-QTI imports

 7) Site Manage
    a) Import from Site and Duplicate Site rarely receive testing
