Does Talk:Notifications have a different purpose than this discussion forum? Thanks in advance
Topic on Help talk:Notifications
What do you mean?
@ Trizek:
I mean:
Do Help talk:Notifications and Talk:Notifications have a different purpose?
I would say that Help talk:Notifications is about using notifications, and Talk:Notifications is about the project. But personally, I don't have a preference as to where the messages are posted, as far as it is on Mediawiki.
Actually to be honest, I personally would much rather know which employees are assigned by the WMF to answer questions on each forum. I find that some employees are sincerely interested in helping users, while others have probably been assigned by their manager to do something they do not enjoy, but are getting paid to do. Just my $.02
By the way, is there a list of all the different Flow discussion forums available on this site?
Project pages are sometimes a maze. On projects I'm assigned to, I try to keep them updated.
At the moment, there are no plans regarding improvements of Notifications. The maintenance of this tool is done by the Growth team. In this role, I keep an eye of the feedback pages in case of some ideas are suggested (they are then liste on Phabicator for the future), and also to help people who face a particular problem and report potential bug.
And there is no way to list all discussions happening on a wiki, I'm sorry.

So this project is currently on hold, but it is assigned to the Growth team? This is unusual, don't you think?
Growth takes care of maintenance for this piece of Mediawiki. It means that we collect bug reports and fix urgent issues. Requests for improvements are documented for future development plans. It is the usual process for extensions used on Wikimedia websites.
I don't know how familiar you are with the difference between development and maintenance in our context. It is like with a building: there is a difference between planning moving a wall to add a new door (development plan) and changing lightbulbs or fuses when electricity is down (maintenance).
