This task represents the work with conducting an analysis to learn what notification channels contributors value/depend on/use to become aware when someone is saying something in a conversation they are interested in.
Open questions
- For people who have received at least one of the notifications listed within Notification types below in the past 90 days [i], we are curious to know what percentage of people have Email notification enabled for each Notification types, broken out by experience level.
- Notification types [ii][iii]
- edit-user-talk
- mention
- dt-subscription
- Notification types [ii][iii]
Note: to start, we will consider this analysis as a "snapshot" of the current state of peoples' notification delivery method preferences. Meaning: this initial analysis will *not* take into account how a particular delivery method preference was set (e.g. was it set by default, did someone change the default delivery method, etc.). We can consider looking at this additional dimension/layer of granularity if the results of the initial analysis are ambiguous.
Done
- All Open questions are answered and documented on this ticket
i. We are using the "received at least one notification in the past 90 days" as a way to limit the analysis to people who will have had the opportunity to adjust these settings.
ii. These notification types are borrowed from Special:DisplayNotificationsConfiguration
iii. The events listed here are those that we assume to be similar to dt-subscription notifications in so far as they make people aware when someone is saying something that is likely relevant to them.
Background
T287547 specifies a change in the channels through which new comment notifications are delivered for new users.
In T287547#7295495, @DLynch noted that implementing the above is more complex than one might think.
Prior to investing the effort to "take on" that complexity, we would like to know and consider the percentage of Senior Contributors who have Email notification delivery enabled for the Echo notifications specified in ===Open questions above.
