I'm +100 on live email notifications. I had already proposed some
additions to "mail this page"
http://markmail.org/thread/dnwgtgfq4nnwz7nv
to include "live" (not watchlist) subsription to changes.
I perfectly agree that we need some live subscriptions.
I'm +1 for 1b
As for 2/ I'm not completely sure about the fully automated solution
limited only to direct replies to your comments.
First I think we probably need also to allow that for participants to
the content, and we also need an unsubscribe mecanism.
So whenever you make an edit or a comment, you should have one or more
"checkboxes" which are checked by default
For a content edit:
[ ] Email me about changes to this page
[ ] Email me about comments to this page
For a comment
[ ] Email me about replies to my comment
[ ] Email me about all comments to this page
[ ] Email me about changes to this page
The issue here is that this requires storing these subscriptions
somewhere, whereas the 2b/ solution you propose can be done
automatically (except for the unsubscribe).
I believe in the end we should have a full "live" subscribe mecanism to
a page, so we will need the subscription storage anyway.
Also we could image "instant messenging" notification in addition to
mail notification.
So we should go for the more complete solution right away.
So to summarize:
I'm +1 for 1b right away
I'm -1 for 2b but +1 for a more complete solution

Hi devs,
I'm thinking since a long time that the wiki really lack some
automatic mail notification and here are some very simple ones that
would improve wiki contributor life I think (I would love to have
theses on
xwiki.org for example.):
1) Automatically add a page to your watchlist when you modify it
a) all the time
b) only for major modification (not tagged as minor edit)
c) only when you create a new page
+ Possible to disable it in the profile and you can easily remove the
page from your watchlist.
+ Disable it for all users needed ?
2) Automatically send you a mail
a) when there is any comment in a page where you have yourself a comment
b) only when someone answer recursively to one of your comments
+ Possible to disable it in your profile
+ Disable it for all user needed ?
Here is my +1 for 1b and 2b as default.
WDYT ?
