Thread:Talk:Flow/Strengths of existing system/reply (2)

Yes but what's not totally clear is whether you can "subscribe" to the conversations of a user (messages to/from) i.e. "watch the user" (using the bugzilla term): this should be clarified. In theory it would be even easier with this proposed system, because – as you said – they're all tracked and they wouldn't rely on the fact that they happen on the user talk you're watching.

A requirement for this is that no such a thing as private messages/"notifications" exist. This is very important, and another thing that should be highlighted in the document. Kaldari said that only non-persistent messages are going to be private notifications, for instance "page A has been linked from page B" which adds nothing to page B's history; but this is not very clear/well defined in the document.
