[cosmo-dev] Safari 2

[Travis Vachon]

Hi folks

With the release of Leopard many of us (developers and qa) are  
currently unable to test Safari 2. I'm not totally sure what the best  
solution to this is. Ideally we could install Safari 2 alongside 3 and  
continue testing happily, but so far the search for easy ways to do  
this has been fruitless.

I'd like to use this thread to consider a number of possible ways we  
can handle this. Off the top of my head:

1) Discontinue support for Safari 2.
2) Provide a semi-public instance of Tiger for testing and set  
appropriate parties up with access.
3) Invest some cycles figuring out a way to run both Safari 2 and 3 on  
Leopard.
4) ??


For what it's worth I think we should seriously consider 1) in the  
next few months. In my mind Safari's browser share doesn't justify  
supporting old versions in the same way we support IE 6. That said, if  
a Tiger release of Safari 3 is in the works it might be good to wait  
for that.

In the mean time I'm not sure which of 2 or 3 I find more appealing.  
Both seem like a non-trivial amount of pain, but 3 seems like a  
potential goose chase.

Thoughts?
