Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has a good strategy for dealing with github noise. Right now I feel like I need to choose between silence and overwhelming volume, and neither is good for me to do my job on this committee. I'd like to be informed when someone opens a new proposal PR in order to read it, but not for any of the follow-up commentary. As best I can tell, there is no github option that allows for this. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sandy -- I'm currently travelling the world, sleeping on people's couches and doing full-time collaboration on Haskell projects.

Hi Sandy, I sympathize. Here is my workflow: - I have a dedicated email account just for proposals traffic. This email gets all notifications -- both from new and old proposals. - I have an email filter to flag any posts that mention @goldfirere. - I separately have an email filter to flag (different color) any proposals with "under review" in the title (as described under https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/#committee-process https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/#committee-process) - I am quick with the "delete" button on proposals I recognize (they're not new) but am not currently following. It's not perfect. But I find it tolerable. Richard

* I follow the repository, so by default I get mails * I filter the ghc-proposals-related GitHub mails into a separate folder – but not because they are too many, but because I want to be able to “mark all as read” in my GitHub folder without losing proposals mail. * If a proposal gets too noisy or doesn’t interest me, I click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom. GitHub will automatically re-subs cribe me if my name, or the name of the team. Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
