[kepler-dev] How to get email about discussion on https://dev.kepler-project.org/

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Matt,
Great, I those RSS feeds work for me.
I see that pages like
https://dev.kepler-project.org/developers/kepler-development-forum/build-and-release-team
have the RSS feed.

However, the page that has the actual messages does not have a link to
the RSS feed.  This is probably a Plone issue.  It is a bug when
a user cannot find something :-)

Also, the RSS feed titles should mention Kepler since users are likely 
to have many feeds.

One thing I find confusing is that the RSS feed shows me a web page
instead of just the post.  The RSS feeds I run just return text, which 
is fine.  Getting the entire webpage is wrong, since each item has 
redundant info from the previous item.  Any chance of getting this fixed?

Finally, does the website have a place for user edited faqs?  There is 
almost no documentation on how to use the site.  This info about RSS
feeds would be a good first start.  Searching for faq yields some sort
of user faq that appears to have few links to it and that I cannot edit.
Should this info go on dev.kepler-org or elsewhere.

I'm willing to wait until an email gateway is setup

Thanks for the pointers.
