QAC Notification System

This page is for the discussion and outlining of the notification system for the QA Companion Extension. Feel free to edit and add topics for discussion!

motivations

Notifications will help testers and beta users stay active by reminding them of QA events and releases.

notification content

• Notify of:
  • test day
  • bug day
  • new alpha/beta releases
  • new QMO news (one of the feeds is updated)
  • other QMO mechanism ("notify QAC users" checkbox for admins?)
• Shouldn't just notify, should provide place to go (irc link to #testday, link to new beta)

notification style

• timing should be tooltip-like
• appear from QAC icon in status bar
• bubble/quotebox/box appearance
• platform specific?

notification system

• feed checking every _ minutes
• checking on startup
  • how do we determine if something is "old"
  • how do we display multiple notifications
