Thread:Talk:Flow Portal/Skin/Subscriptions/Rights management/reply

1) There will almost certainly be a fallback (though it probably won't be a skin - in mediawiki parlance, a "skin" is a very specific kind of thing). I cannot promise that the experience of interacting with the system will not be painful if you don't have javascript enabled - and it may very well be that you will not be able to edit or add comments without it (given our dependance on the VisualEditor).  However, the best effort will be made.

2) That is the "minimal" case for subscribing to a user, perhaps. If we look at the maximal case of subscribing to a user, the following things could be important:


 * 1) New topics started on their board
 * 2) New topics that they start on other boards
 * 3) Topics they respond to in other boards
 * 4) Edits they make to articles
 * 5) Workflow discussions they start or get involved in (AFD, RFA, etc.)

As we go forward, we'll probably have to create a system whereby you, as a user, can have more fine-grained control over your subscriptions like this.

3) Rights management is an on-going discussion. We knew that restricting comment edit would be a Thing.  But there are several routes to achieving solutions that are acceptable to the use cases we've identified.

One thing I can tell you is that we are planning for the idea of a "collaborative" post flag, which would allow for multiple people to edit it.
