I began rewriting the subscriptions module a bit today and wanted to check here if anyone else was also working on it? It would be a shame to double our efforts.
Here are my ideas which I don't have time to implement:
There are two types of subscriptions: node and listing. Perhaps these should be two separate modules.
For nodes (subscribe to a node, get the comments mailed), the best UI I have seen is Base Camp. Key elements of this translated into Drupal-speak: - When submitting a node you can choose who to subscribe individually or by group. - When viewing a node you can see who else is subscribed. - When viewing a node you can subscribe or unsubscribe yourself.
But we can do better with choices. Your batch subscription to all nodes should be availiable through: - Individual emails - Digest email - RSS - Web only
This has been on our "to do" list for a while. I had previously written up a little bit internally, and revived it for book work: http://dev.bryght.com/t/wiki/SubscriptionsModule Maybe we can put all feature requests there to centralize? -- Boris Mann http://www.bryght.com
