Ryan K., who was actively working on Echo at the time, and I (in consultation with others) decided that Echo was not the best path forward in order to resolve this bug. If you want Echo to have the ability to post to cross-wiki user talk pages, file a separate bug report that you can manage and add to whatever backlog you'd like. This bug is actually a Wikimedia bug that should hopefully be resolved/fixed by the end of this month.

(A canonical example of system-generated notification being the old-style you have new mail message.) I am straining to see how this fits with EdwardsBot function, which is the delivery of bulk mailings. One possibility would be to post a message in one place, and use Echo to notify a delivery list to check it out. This could mitigate some of the problems with posting multiple copies for all the recipients. However, it would not work for folks who disable Echo notifications, and it would not leave a trail on their talk page for future reference. Note also that mass-mailing is not only useful for user talk; it can also be used, e.g., to post a notice at the Village Pump (or equivalent forum/noticeboard) on multiple wikis. (Use case: advance notice of breaking changes in an upcoming mediawiki release.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35306 --- Comment #9 from Ryan Kaldari rkald...@wikimedia.org --- You're correct. Echo isn't for watchlist type functionality. The specific case I was thinking of was that people could choose to receive a notification when a new issue of the SignPost is published, rather than having a message posted to their talk page. The notification wouldn't contain any actual content from the SignPost, just a message that it was published and a link to it. This is something of an edge case for potential Echo functionality, but it is something we have considered. I don't expect that we will support anything like this in the initial release, but if we can solve the technical and UI problems with such a feature, it would be a nice alternative to talk page posts for certain cases. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35306 --- Comment #10 from Ningauble ningau...@earthlink.net --- (In reply to comment #9) This is something of an edge case ... Yes, it could be useful for some purposes, and your Signpost example is consistent with what I was thinking. However, it is not the substitute MZ is seeking for EdwardsBot's bulk mail delivery. It may have been premature to assign this general (thoughts) bug to the Echo component, because the functional need is broader than that edge case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35306 --- Comment #11 from MZMcBride b...@mzmcbride.com --- I continue to wonder if this bug is best solved by a relatively simple MediaWiki extension. Extension:Spam or something. Then you would have Special:Spam, which would be your input form. You'd have a subject line and the body text for inputs. Then you press start and the extension queues edits (perhaps in the job queue, maybe). I imagine some code could be cribbed from the GlobalUsage extension. Rather than a wiki page access list, you can use user groups/user permissions that are baked into MediaWiki. Then the only question becomes how to accept input lists. Maybe continue using the wiki page (list of links) model? An extension would allow other wikis to use the same approach. Perhaps a similar extension already exists? Does anyone know? If this approach sounds sane enough (I'm looking for feedback), I'll go ahead and make an RFC and re-purpose this bug a bit and change it back to unassigned. This solution does _not_ resolve the Signpost/Echo problem, really (though The Signpost would likely use Extension:Spam), but I'm okay with that. (There's a larger add a subscriptions feature to Echo bug that's needed, I think.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35306 --- Comment #7 from Ryan Kaldari rkald...@wikimedia.org --- We definitely want to add support for something like this to Echo. There are a few hard problems to figure out though: 1. How do we make it usable to folks like MZ, but prevent it from becoming a firehose of spam? One option is to provide an opt-in mechanism for specific types of notifications, but then we end up with a list of preferences a mile long. 2. How do we manage content delivery cross-wiki? We don't have any system of cross-wiki preferences. Should content be delivered to every wiki a user is active on? Only their home wiki? Should the user be able to choose? Should we force them to subscribe separately on each wiki?

I'm not sure if a global message delivery system will be built into Echo (or Flow?) or if a separate wikifarm-specific extension makes sense here. However, as I watch another targets list begin to grow (in this case, [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Grants News]]), it occurs to me (yet again) that I simply don't want to be responsible for global message delivery indefinitely. Eventually, we're going to need a better system. Simple Python scripts are great, but they have their limits. And I've long held off on further development of EdwardsBot as I always believed this should be a built-in feature. As I understand it, Echo is currently focused on user notifications. I believe this would be a good next project for the Echo team. Respectfully submitted for consideration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

An extension could maintain user lists based on geographic area, on-wiki projects, and anything else as well as an opt-out list per-sender and globally. The actual delivery could be attributed to the actual sender without flooding recent changes by simply skipping the RC feed. Maintain a log for the extension and post that log to RC, and then post the actual edits to each user talk page asynchronously without adding to the RC feed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
