RSS feeds as an alternative to e-mails
0%
Description
In the Web 2.0 flavor, it would be nice to be able to subscribe to RSS feeds instead of getting e-mails about things.
For private projects, this would probably require a "RSS key" be generated that would allow the user to subscribe
without being authenticated in their RSS reader.
Details are a bit hazy... it would theoretically be nice to be able to get the same "this changed, that changed"
level detail in an RSS feed... it would also be nice to be able to subscribe only to specific trackers/filtered queries.

First, i could add the ability to subscribe to a "custom
issue report" (project specific). But if a user has many
projects, he would have to subscribe to many feeds...
Also i could add the ability to define "project independent"
queries (the same way as we can currently do on a specific
project).
Then, a user could "subscribe" to such a query, as
a feed. The query would be executed for all of the user's projects
when called through a rss reader. So users will be able to get
the information for all their projects with just one feed.
Concerning privacy, i agree with you on using a per user RSS key.

I've just added per project feeds (news, issues, and details
of issue changes). Each custom query that you may have defined
in your project can be used as a feed.
To subscribe to the feeds, go to your project overview. You will
see a "Feeds" link in the up-right corner.
Feeds are available in rss & atom formats. For now, I didn't
have time to validate generates feeds but they seem ok under
firefox.

I have started using these its working fairly well. Only thing
I would ask is to have a single feed which combined both new
issues and issue history. I am also not sure if the history feed
is working quite right, but I will continue to test it. :)
