Event Timeline

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Medium.Nov 21 2014, 8:21 PM

• bzimport added projects: MediaWiki-General, Tracking-Neverending.

• bzimport set Reference to bz1932.

Wikinaut created this task.Apr 20 2005, 6:51 AM

The title was adapted, because "EConfirm", "EC", "e-mail address confirmation"
is the new term for what was formerly known as EAuthent",
"EA", "e-mail address authentication".

See bug 866 for detailed description of EConfirm, wich sends a token now

Adding 'tracking' keyword.

Added a bunch more. This component needs some love, even if Echo will replace its functionality in the medium-term for Wikimedia, as I imagine third parties may wish to keep using it.

I don't think that Echo is useful and can replace E-Notif. E-Notif as a "push" method is essential for many of us.

Echo will include sending e-mails to users about events of different types; it will be configurable, but it will be a superset of ENOTIF's functionality, AFAIAA.

Probably of interest for people here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/UserMailer_Refactor

Any opinions about converting this mega tracking task in an own Phabricator project?

If we were going to have a "Notifications" project, that'd be awesome; part of the issue is that a lot of these tasks are things that can be, or are already partially, solved in "Echo". Tracking these more coherently would make sense.

Any opinions about converting this mega tracking task in an own Phabricator project?

I don't see a benefit. If the tracking bug is to be killed, we can likely just add everything to MediaWiki-Email.

Done on 11 open tasks.

Anyone can reopen this tracking bug if they feel like using it for something specific. (An alternative is a workboard in the component.)
