Some thoughts:
* the notification menu needs to be always displayed to access the
watchlist actions, even if no real notification have been sent.
So we would need a kind of "new" icon close to the bell (or the count of
unread notifications) when there is new notifications (like in facebook:
)
* the actions are relevant to the current page, but are displayed in a more
global menu. But we could also argue that they concern the notification
area so it's ok and quite intuitive.
* it still need an extra-click to see the state of the page (but as before
in the first Flamingo's version and Colibri) but it does not cost a lot
(nothing compared to a modal box to open).
If everyone agrees, I can implement this way.

Edy's proposal sounds ok to me.
Thanks,

I don`t like having multiple icons for relatively
the same purpose nor
abusing the extra space we have in the top menu.
What about joining the 2 icons (eye and bell) and using only the bell
item
for generic "notifications"?
Reiterating: inside the dropdown of the bell icon (the dropdown shown in
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s657/sh/e0f42388-9d3d-4253-83db-1986a2d8a846…
), just above the actual notifications stream, we
would also have the 2
watchlist subscription options (i.e. the content of the dropdown shown in
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/WatchListButtonsonXE73/…
)
which would also show their states.
This way we would also remove the "watch" actions from the more actions
section and we would group notifications and page-watch-subscriptions in
the same spot. IMO, it is not critical to always display the information
that you are watching the current page and, just like we did in all the
other previous skins, it is enough if you can obtain that information in
one click (i.e. clicking on the bell icon and seeing the state of the
watch
buttons). In our previous skins (colibri,
Flamingo v1, etc.) we had this
information upon hovering the page, space or wiki, in the dropdown.
And yes, I guess that at first, it will look a bit similar to proposal 3
(
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/WatchListButtonsonXE73/…
), but with a bell icon and not a dedicated eye
(watchlist) icon instead
:)
