[Chandler-dev] [Proposal] Notifications via Web Widgets and Email/SMS/IM

[Mimi Yin]

Here is a rough sketch to review next Tuesday.

For mockups,see: http://chandlerproject.org/Notes/WebWidgetsMockups

WHAT CONSTITUTES A NOTIFICATION?
Generate a notification 'item' for the following 'events' taking  
place in a collections:
+ When somebody created a new item, what kind of item, it's title and  
when.
+ When somebody edited an item, what kind of item, it's title and when.
+ When an item pops to NOW, what kind of item, it's title and when

OPEN ISSUES 1
* Can we display the contents of the item in-place? Expand the  
notification line-item to show it?
* Can we link to the item in the user's account?

HOW DO USERS SET UP NOTIFICATIONS?
+ Add Widgets gallery to hub.chandlerproject.org homepage?
- Install an iGoogle / iPhone / Dashboard / Vista Sidebar widgets
- Receive notifications via Email / SMS
- Send report - Live, as it happens; Every hour; Once a day; Once a week
