Automatic notifications of issues/pull request/commits

Hi All,

I'm wondering whether we should try Dom's github-notify-ml [1] in this group. It automatically notifies the mailing list of the following activity in the GitHub re the Presentation-API:

* issues are opened, commented on, closed
* pull requests are opened
* commits are pushed

This would simplify the workflow, since no need to send a separate mail to this mailing list and cross-link the mailing list discussions with the GitHub activity (as that'd be done automatically). This would allow us to have discussions in the GH issues.

Of course, there are some tradeoffs (duplicates if you watch the repo too, replies to the automatic notifications are not reflected back to GH).

Nevertheless, I'd suggest we give it a spin, since this mailing list is relatively low volume.

If it seems not to work, we could just disable it. All this assuming we get help from Francois and/or Dom to enable this for our group :-)

See Dom's mail [2] for more.

WDYT?

Thanks,

-Anssi (WG chair)
