I think it would be useful to test this. If people think it may be too noisy, how about the [email protected] list? Or a new list [email protected]? Although maybe we can start on this list to see how it works. I can think of several things to improve notification quality: 1) make sure that only one e-mail is sent if builds stop working -- only ever send another e-mail if one build has succeeded since the last failure. 2) delay sending e-mail a few hours to see if the problem persists. Sometimes you check in something that is clearly broken and you fix it minutes later yourself, and getting a notification for that seems useless. Do you have a pointer to how these e-mails looks like? /Simon
