    <thetext>From email thread:

Hi, folks-

Lea pointed out that right now, the site looks pretty bad in IE8. I know we all want developers to use modern browsers... but something like 7-15% of our users may have to use the site in IE8.

What is our legacy browser strategy?

Do we only support modern browsers?

Do we launch as is, and say we&apos;ll evaluate IE8 support in the future?

I don&apos;t see a practical way to support IE8 before launch...

Regards-
-Doug

&gt; that&apos;s considered extra work, but isn&apos;t that best practice? And should 
&gt; we be employing best practices? We can think of IE8 as a canary in the 
&gt; coal mine for this.</thetext>

    <thetext>Basically, the main unresolved issue in IE8 is the logo. Everything else looks decent and works fine, on par with progressive enhancement.</thetext>
