Add a "watched" project to my projects

Post by joatmon » Thu May 03, 2007 6:54 pm

Is there a way to "watch" a project?  Basically, I would like to make a link to a project I am watching and add it to My Projects or maybe add a new tab for My Watched Projects.  It's more for my own sanity.  There are so many projects and I'd like to keep track of only a few.

I would like to say that I do not want to hold up any development on Joomla! in order to create this feature.  Just a nice to have.

Project admins have the ability to start a mailing list, for which you can subscribe/unsubscribe. This is up to the developer though. When logging in Joomlacode, you should have a tab called 'Monitoring' where you can track a forum, tracker or packages of one or more projects.

There is another way, check the News tab of a project, you can use the Monitor button on the left.

Will either option work for you, so I can mark this solved?

Either of those will probably work, so you can mark this as solved, however I would really like to see something under the "My Stuff" or "Monitoring" tab that would allow you to monitor a general project.  More or less just a bookmarked list of interesting projects.

Thanks for your help!
