     101== Project Notifications ==
     102Project notifications is an umbrella feed which covers several different pieces of information including:
     103 * Welcome messages
     104 * Project News
     105 * Project Milestones
     106 * Private Messages
     107 * Friend Requests
     108 * Forum Threads
     109 * Forums (Any new thread created in the forum)
     110
     111This functionality is currently implemented using the following link:
     112{{{
     113http://<project_url>/notify_rss.php
     114}}}
     115
     116The following changes should be made:
     117 * Each item should belong to one or more categories the client software can use to filter on.
     118
     119'''NOTE:''' This whole feature area should be audited.  I would be surprised if 1% of the volunteer population even uses it, after this whole feature is completed 100% of the active population will be using it.
     120
     121Database queries should be optimized and referenced tables should be converted from MyISAM to InnoDB, whole table locks will cause both BOINC clients and the website to stall depending on the operation.
     122
    101123== BOINC Action Feed ==
    102124The BOINC Action feed stream is a special in memory RSS feed the BOINC Client software maintains for informing the volunteer about various conditions.
