This task is about consulting with Senior Contributors about the approach we are currently taking to enabling people to elect to receive notifications when new comments are posted in topics they've chosen to "subscribe" to.
Background
This idea of enabling people to more easily follow activity in specific talk page sections has been around for some time. [i][ii][iii][iv][v]
This task is about making sure we have an opportunity to learn from the people who have been thinking about this idea over the past couple of years.
