Working on the challenge laid out by @Zverik to add subscriptions to diary comments was fun! Now I want to suggest another – an overview of all notifications across OSM.org. This would include diary entries, comments, and notes.
Ideally this page would list subscriptions, in order of most recently commented.
One complexity, Notes have a different subscription workflow than diary entries and comments. With Notes, the original poster and any commenter are notified of comments. There’s no way to subscribe otherwise, or unsubscribe. We may want to, in the future, modify that to follow the same workflow.
As laid out by Zverik :”The offer is not indefinite: the PR must be submitted until the 15th of November and merged before the 15th of December. And yes, there might be a competition, in that case OWG will decide the winner by merging a pull request.”

Wow, quick work on the first challenge. This sounds great too. A quick plea though - can you please consider also pulling in blog posts (e.g. over RSS) as the current http://blogs.openstreetmap.org/ (which this may end up replacing) drives a lot of traffic to the site I write for. It also got me in to the the Mapbox blog before that switched to https and stopped working on blogs.openstreetmap.org :-(

@mikelmaron I wish to contribute to this, but will only have time and capacity to start looking into the code base AFTER Dec. 15. If it is still open, I’ll try to have something submitted by Dec. 31st.

@Skippern sure let’s extend!

@mikelmaron Thanks, I’ll look at having a PR ready for 31st.

Hi everyone! This seems to have fallen asleep. Mikel, if you’d agree to extend this again to the 1st of March, I’ll match your pledge.

Let’s do it @Stereo! @Skippern, been a while – still interested?
Comment from Skippern on 6 January 2018 at 15:37
@mikelmaron Interested but no time in foreseeable future
