The notification system has a lot of overlap with comments/activity on a bug, mp, or question. To start with, perhaps they will be redundantly stored both as events and where they currently are, but eventually the bug page could will just show the overall metadata (task table etc) and then the wall of activity about that bug.

It's not clear to me that people would actually prefer "what events was I interested in?" to "what events am I interested in?" If people actually prefer the latter perhaps there is a way to implement it reasonably? In your approach as I understand it: relevance of events to people is marked at the time the event is fired (or soon afterwards). So if I subscribe to a new bug, I will see events about it in my timeline from that point on, but not previous activity on it. Similarly if I implicitly subscribe to some bugs by joining a team. Conversely if I unsubscribe from or mute a bug or leave a team, I will still have all its activity in my log. I suspect this will cause complaints or confusion. It is explainable though. It is consistent with what email would have been sent to the user, but inconsistent with most social wall-type things people may be used to. If somebody is removed from a commercially or security sensitive team (perhaps they were incorrectly added) it is a bit strange to keep serving what should have been private data to them, even if they could potentially have a copy of that in email. We could fix this while keeping the same approach of having things fully expanded out by subscriber by going through to add or remove rows when subscriptions change. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
