Description

As a (logged-in) User I want to watch (follow) a package, that is register my interest about a package. (Similar to watch/follow features in github/bitbucket/wikis).

NB: this is as much (if not more) about showing what packages are interesting as giving info to 'watchers'.

TODO: finalize terminology (github uses watch for repos and follow for users while bitbucket combines both in 'followers').

Become watcher:

  • Watch button on packages (if already watching say 'Unwatch')

Package-related changes:

  • Show number of watchers on a package
  • List number of watchers of a package
    • On a separate page (a la github) or on the main page (more like bitbucket overview)

User-related changes:

  • Show what packages a user has started/stopped followed on a user's public activity stream on their user page
  • List watched packages
    • Either on user's page on a separate 'following' page. (NB: called 'following')
  • Does watching involve notifications (by email)
    • Probably not: you can already subscribe to RSS feed after all and email not that necessary (?)

Random Extras

  • What about following users as well
