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 GitHub notifications:

  • Set up an email rule: Notifications come from [email protected], so set up an email rule to put them into a particular folder
  • 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 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 the draft Note and how chunks of work will be broken up and tracked for progress. Issues go into our agile pipeline for the GitHub WCAG2ICT Note Update project where they can be prioritized and taken up by task force participants to weigh in on and complete.

Actions you can take regarding issues:

  • Open a new issue
  • Tagging
  • Assigning someone
  • Filtering
  • Commenting
  • Adding milestones
  • Mentioning others using @mention (e.g. @maryjom)
  • Referencing other issues using #Issue number
  • Referencing pull requests with changes made due to handling the issue
