Now I'm "watching" 72 tickets, but I'm pretty sure that I've added
myself as a watcher on the huge majority of them, so I don't believe
it'll work to ask other people to add me.
I've spent quite some time looking for ways to monitor classes of
tickets I'm interested in, and I mostly failed:
* I've found some Redmine plugins (mainly
https://github.com/mephi-ut/redmine_auto_watch and
https://github.com/rchady/redmine_auto_watchers) that automatically
add people as watchers on various actions, which can surely save
some time but I'm not sure it's worth the cost of maintaining the
plugin on our Redmine installation.
* I've found nothing to track e.g. tickets that have some given
Category (let alone custom fields like "Affected tool" or "Type of
work").
* I've investigated a little bit if Atom feeds could be an option,
but they clearly aren't: comments and other metadata changes are
not tracked, so whenever a new ticket that interests me is created,
I would have to manually go add myself as a watcher.
So I'm officially giving up on solving this with technical means.
I will go on being subscribed to the entire feed of our Redmine
things, but I won't be reading everything (actually I started skipping
lots of discussions in there), so don't rely on it: whenever you want
me to read something or need my input, please assign the ticket to me
and set "QA Check" to "Info Needed".
Thanks!
Cheers,
