What problems would this solve? =============================== We currently have no page watching features. This makes certain work, like catching and correcting vandalism, very difficult. This feature would be a temporary solution -- not the robust notification system we all want, but something simple to address the vandalism problem right now. Who would use this? =================== For now, I imagine the primary users will be users are concerned about vandalism. What would users see? ===================== On the MDN itself: The user would see a menu item labeled something like "Receive email notifications" in the "This page" menu. The user would then receive an email whenever that page is updated. The email must include: * A content diff * A metadata diff (tags, page title, page name, needs_review, etc.) * A link to the page that was changed * A link to the page history * A link to the user profile of the person who made the change What would users do? What would happen as a result? =================================================== Users would interact with the email to determine if a change is spam, and use the links provided to correct the issue if needed. Is there anything else we should know? ======================================
This is our number one priority at the moment. Does a launch date of Friday sound reasonable? FWIW, we have talked about using django-tidings for this: https://github.com/erikrose/django-tidings

We have some traction on a rabbitmq backend for celery tasks thanks to bug 766627. django-tidings seems a bit intense, but we can probably get a SUMO dev to pair with us to implement it quickly.
By intense, do you mean too heavyweight or difficult to implement? If it's the former, I can get us set up with one of the SUMO devs.
(In reply to John Karahalis [:openjck] from comment #3) > By intense, do you mean too heavyweight or difficult to implement? If it's > the former, I can get us set up with one of the SUMO devs. As can I :) It's a full-featured library, it has some work to it. Celery should be a blocker for this no matter what. Sending an arbitrary number of emails during the request cycle for editing is a Bad Idea™.
