Allow notifications of annotations and highlights on a chapter-by-chapter basis #2337

Open mkgold opened 5 years ago

Feature Description

For edited collections, especially, where a publication consists of chapters authored by different authors, it would be ideal if the authors of each chapter had the possibility of being notified whenever someone annotated or highlighted a chapter. Right now, it is only possible to subscribe to notifications for an entire project; in a book like Debates in the Digital Humanities, with over 45 chapters, that means that if authors want to be notified of comments on their chapters, they will also be notified of comments on the other 44 chapters

Why is this feature important? Who does it help?

this would improve conversations in the margins of a text overall, as it would allow authors to more closely monitor comments on their texts. Upon receiving notifications, they could respond, thereby increasing interaction with Manifold texts.

User Stories

A scholar writes a single chapter in a larger collection. This scholar wants to subscribe to notifications only for her chapter, not for others written by other people.

This could build on the OER work we're doing for CUNY. We would add a setting to notifications that allowed people to be notified when someone commented or annotated something in the user's collection.
