Github notifications

dear www-international subscribers,

After discussion in the i18n WG, we have decided to change the way this 
list recieves notifications of github issues.

Rather than sending a separate email to the list each time an issue is 
created or closed (in which case, if you are already following the issue 
you receive two copies) for all issues in all github repositories, we'll 
now receive two daily digests that show all activity across a set of 
repos for the previous 24 hours in a single email.

This should substantially reduce the traffic on the list, making it 
easier to spot other emails that aren't github notifications. It will 
also allow us to see when and to what extent people are contributing 
comments to existing issues, so that popular issues can be identified 
and so that existing issues are not forgotten.  This is something that 
wasn't possible until now.

There are two types of github repository for which we currently receive 
notifications: (a) repos that house i18n documents or pages, and (b) 
repos of other WGs where we lodge spec review comments or track that WGs 
issues. We will have separate digests for these two.

Today, i will set up the digest for the i18n repos, and then i'll set up 
the other next week when i'm back in the office (because it's slightly 
more complicated and i want to do some testing).

I hope you will find that this improves you experience on 
www-international.  Each digest has links that make it easy to view an 
issue thread.  As always, don't forget to subscribe to those issues that 
are of interest to you, if you want to get comments sent direct to your 
mailbox.

best,
ri
