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
People need to know:
1. When something that affects them updates in a way that affects them
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
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?
