Dan,
In my opinion everyone that uses IE should be on IE 8 or above. I don't think that you and the other developers should waste a lot of time dealing with quirks from old browsers. But for those that are still running an old version of IE, perhaps GeoMOOSE could display a pop up window that invites users to upgrade IE, or redirect them to an older version of GeoMOOSE that does support IE 6-7.

FOSS4G/NA will allow for us to do some direction planning and legacy browser support is a subject upon which I intend to tackle this year. Legacy support with IE is causing us problems with IE10. Some of the feature-sniffing code in IE10 makes things *very* difficult and newer versions of our base libraries that support IE10 tend to break IE6/7/FF<3.6.

If you value GeoMOOSE simply BECAUSE of IE6/7 support then we'll need to hear from you. Another motivating factor: I cannot seem to *buy* a version of Windows that will run IE7 anymore. My only functioning windows install is Win7 and I believe I've got it upgraded to IE10 at this point, for testing purposes. I'm going to try and setup a down-grade VM for IE9 testing along with some automation.
Thanks all for any feedback.
