Description Willian Mitsuda CLA 2006-10-25 14:04:50 EDT 
On more thing that prevents me from using mylar full-time, are the task notifications.

The notifications say that something has changed on a task, but don't say what.

To do so, I actually relly on bugzilla email notifications, that shows me what fields changed, the old/news values, etc...

The intention of the notifications is to point the user at the task list, so we have resolved this by showing changes in the editor and just showing the incoming comment in the notification.

I disagree. I'd like to have it in the popup so I don't need to open the task just to see it.

There are some improvements I'd like to have on the popup notification too, so I think I'll open another bug to track this more complex idea (including this one).

Feel free to add those thoughts here and reopen if appropriate.  I suppose we could do some additional summarization, but definitely post 1.0 and low priority.
