To be worked into a more readable spec for notifications, that will form the backbone of a roadmap for the next few months of StoryBoard development.

Spec
----

A user needs to know:

1. When something (that affects that user) updates (in a way that affects that user)

Requirements:

a) Things that affect users must be tracked. Selectable subscriptions exist. If not all things that can be updated in a subscribed resource will be relevant, then...

b) SB needs to track whether or not an update to a (subscribed) resource is relevant to the user.

  i) What updates are possible?

  ii) How will a user tell SB which updates to look out for?

c) SB must inform user of these updates

  i) The user needs to know what has updated

        *Appropriate metadata should be relayed-- what is it, and should this be configurable?
        (example of appropriate metadata: 'does this update require my input?')

  ii) In what way should the user be notified? Presumably one that suits the user, but what is this, and should *this* be configurable?

Implementation:

TBA, look into timeline events. Roughly divides into three parts:

a) SB tracking info

b) Info displayed to user

    i) currently:

        *recent events on dashboard

    ii) in progress

        *email notifications patches
        (what point are these at?)
         
c) Info interactive

    i) preferences for timeline events accessed from profile page

        *checkboxes with 'save' button at the bottom:

            Story created
            Story details changed
            Task created
            Task assignee changed
            Task status changed
            Task priority changed
            Task details changed
            Task deleted
             User comment

        *linked from 'profile' button on left navbar

Timeline: 

When do we expect what? We could probably refine this forever, so at what point should we consider changing priority?
