github-notify-ml has been enabled for this group and the above activity to the Presentation API GitHub repo now automatically triggers a post to this mailing list. Here's an example of the automated mail sent by the tool:

  https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-secondscreen/2015Feb/0003.html

In practice, this simplifies the day to day work as you do not need to separately remember to send a mail to this list if you in GitHub create a new issues, comment on an issue, submit a pull request, push a commit. This allows us to have discussions in GitHub as well and people who are subscribed to this mailing list will be kept informed of relevant GitHub activity automatically.

Please note that you should respond in GitHub, and not reply to the generated mails, since replies will not be reflected back to GitHub. There's a direct GitHub link at the bottom of each automatically generated mail.

If you wish, you can filter these automatically sent notification mails since the subject is always prefixed with "[presentation-api]".

Any bugs, feature requests with github-notify-ml should go to [1]. Please note this is considered an experimental feature, and as such there likely are some rough edges.

Thanks Dom for this awesome tool!

Thanks,

-Anssi
