Changes to the www-international mailing list

since we moved our publications to github we have been experimenting 
with the level of notification that is appropriate for this list. 
Currently the list is notified about pretty much everything, including 
every comment that is added to an issue on github.

recently a couple of people have said that they are receiving too much 
email this way, so we are exploring alternatives.



note that there are two sources of github messages:

1. changes to the repository for one of the i18n documents, such as 
charmod, but also including clreq, and other layout task forces

2. comments from the github issues of other groups when we have sent 
review comments, or we want to track something.



PROPOSALS

For [1] above, here is a proposal:

a. notify www-internationalh when a new issue is raised: give a url 
pointing to the issue in the notification email and allow people 
interested to subscribe individually via the github client

b. notify when the issue is closed, but not every comment

c. manually notify the list when a doc is published to TR (ie. 
substantive changes) with a link to the commit page for that repo so you 
can check diffs; otherwise no notifications, eg. for commits, etc.


For [2] above

no change, since this is equivalent to our old practice (it's just that 
the emails are originating from github, rather than an email client or 
bugzilla)



thoughts?
