Hello developers,

I'd like to ask if it were possible that in the event of an addition/modification/removal of an entry in the contributed units page an automatic message containing the change is sent to fpc-announce ? It ought not increase traffic to this list too much since such changes are not too frequent afaik. But on the other hand it relieves me of checking that page (which takes quite a while to download here) in vain most of the time. It makes it easier to notice new/changed things too - always checking the whole table is very time intensive and very often I miss new or changed entries.

Probably it can be implemented as an additional option in the form to allow for people not wanting this for any reason.

Second it were nice if some sort of acknowledgement mail about the contribution could be sent to the contributor containing the info entered and (most important for me) the used password too - I happen to have a memory like a sieve in such matters and forget in this case the password immediately after typing it :(
Again it might be appropiate to make this optional.

I do know that this might burden the mail server a little but imho it makes the system more comfortable.

Regards,
Thomas

P.S.: I apologize if this message is sent multiple times to this list. There seems to be some problem with the mail interface atm...

This should be easy to do.

I will implement it.

I will add a check box for it, checked by default.

I will do this as well.

It should appear one of these days.

Michael.

You can now ask to send a mail to the fpc-announce mailing list or to yourself. There are now two checkboxes for this. (checked by default)
