Setting your notifications

GitHub can inundate your inbox with email if your notifications are set to watch all activity (the default). Be sure to modify them to a level that's comfortable for you. There are two ways to handle notifications in GitHub:

  • Set up an email rule: Notifications come from [email protected], so set up an email rule to put them into a particular folder, or
  • Adjust your watch level: By default, when you join in on a repository you have the maximum notifications - ALL of them. To adjust the notifications for the wcag2ict repository, do the following:
  1. Go to the wcag2ict repository.
  2. Open the Unwatch drop-down on the top right
  3. Change to your desired setting. Suggest you use either Participating and @mentions or Ignore.

There are some other ways to set up notifications more globally. If you want to check those out, go to the GitHub resource Configuring notifications.

Issues

Issues are how we receive comments on documents and how we set up chunks of drafting work to assign to task force participants.
