Hi devs !
Currently working on
[XWIKI-14353](https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14353), I think that
the live e-mail notification system could be implement as 2 different ways :
1. In its notification preferences, a user can select if he wants a mail
daily, hourly or weekly (that’s already in place). We could add a new
"live" option that does exactly what is expected : it sends a mail as
soon as a document has been updated.
2. We could also provide a completely different option that sends live
e-mails, but regular notification mails are still sent depending on the
user preference and acts as a hourly / daily or weekly "digest”.
Not sure what’s the use case for receiving both realtime mails + digests, do you have one?
For the user this means duplicate info, no?
Finally one idea would be to use the same system that
is implemented in
discourse : a mail is sent approximately 10 minutes after an event is
triggered,
this means that if a user A is subscribed to the events
coming form a document X, if this document is updated by someone else,
the updates coming from the document in the next 10 minutes will be
grouped in a single mail that will be sent to A. This could potentially
be more scalable as less mails are sent to the users.
Yes, a configurable grace period would be very nice. This is quite useful to avoid
spamming when you notice you made some typos for example or you didn’t use preview and
created a broken link, etc. ;)
