Two quick suggestions for improving the wonderful project module.

1. Provide a means for quickly finding a project request by username. It is hard to track the feature requests that you've posted or commented on.

2. More complex, but it would be great if user's could "subscribe" to a request, thus getting email notification whenever that request is modified. In fact, this might be useful to other node types as well. I could imagine subscribing to book pages, or even specific blog entries if they spawn interesting conversation. Ok. Taking this a little too far, it would be great if on posting a comment or revision to a node, to check a box labeled "notify me of changes and new comments about this article."

BTW, I think the project module should be added to the core package, as it is a very powerful tool and demonstrates the power of drupal very well.

Cheers to all!

1. Will be included in the next version of project module.
2. This will be mostly implemented as well.

i hope that 2) is implemented in a generic way so that any node may maintain
a subscription list.

Let me just add that remindme.module is a kind of "subscribtion to event nodes" module. You can also subscribe to taxo terms associated with events. By this method you will also be reminded of events that will be only added in the future.

It sounds like all of these "solutions" should be joined into an updated "notify" module. Of course, my vote would be to not only have email notification of new comments/posts/events/etc., but also RSS feeds for each of these.

So, for people that wanted email, they could choose email notification. For RSS, users would subscribe to the comment feed of a particular node.

Perhaps one "notify" API, extended/overriden by certain modules at will? I can definitely see the remindme/events being different.

1. Authenticated users have their issues under open issues menu item.

2. Users can subscribe to project issues with three different levels (none, issues they have taken part in, or all).
