I discussed with Arnis Kleitnieks yesterday two Jira issues:
1. Getting athena10@mit.edu to receive notice when anything in the
ATN project changes.
2. How after setting up touchstone certificate login how I (and
apparently others) don't get logged in automatically but have to
click 4 times to get to touchstone, select certificates, and go.
I am hopeful that this will make life with Jira better. I TOTALLY
agree that having to scan stuff every day is a pain. Speaking of
which, we really should come up with a better way for people like me
to see what's been discussed in class debathena while I'm away than:
guess a debathena.X for how many days I might have been away
read through the file using more or less.
cross my eyes to match the message with the sender
read the stuff I've read to make sure I didn't miss anything.
actually see the relevant new z-grams.
And yes, I'm trying to make the point that keeping up with class
debathena with the present tools is a much bigger pain than scanning
Jira, even though scanning Jira is going to get fixed and stop being
needed...
