Hi Stephane,

Oh, I like this idea!

1. If you put a page on your watchlist, you receive notifications about
comments on that page.

2. If you comment on a page, that page is automatically added to your
watchlist. (You can of course manually unsubscribe.)

That neatly combines the two things, without adding any new controls or
subscriptions. The one part that gives me pause is the second part. I
think there will be use-cases where, say, a teacher is commenting on
dozen of student submissions and then no longer cares about the page
afterwards. They will probably find it annoying to have to manually
unsubscribe from those pages. But I think that's a minor annoyance, and
if it becomes an issue we could maybe later add a user preference about
whether or not to automatically "watch" pages you comment on.

So yeah, I think this ^ is the way we should go. :)

Cheers,
Aaron

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Situation goes as such :

  - A view has been commented by another user :
       - the owner receives a notification --> Good
  - the owner replies to the comment in his view
       - the owner gets a notification --> not required
       - the user who left a comment should be notified that a new comment has been made (bug 738882)

  Part of the situation has already been reported (bug 738882)
  but part of it has not.

  The person who writes a comment on his own view should not be notified
  of a new comment.
