[Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jean-Paul Calderone has proposed merging lp:~divmod-dev/divmod.org/batch-process-start-heuristic-2963 into lp:divmod.org.

Requested reviews:
  Divmod-dev (divmod-dev)
Related bugs:
  Bug #910927 in Divmod Axiom: "The batch process is not started up automatically"
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/divmod-axiom/+bug/910927

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~divmod-dev/divmod.org/batch-process-start-heuristic-2963/+merge/87279

This changes the batch processing system to start the batch process any time there are remote listeners for an item that is added.  This doesn't make the behaviour strictly correct, but it improves it enough to make Quotient usable.
