Answer 2

Thank you Scott, and thanks all the developers.

one question: Are you going to implement a notification system(as it's on the roadmap provided by you) any time soon?

Comments

Yes that is intended for v1.9.

@scott, Great to hear that, thanks.

---

Please make it not core but as a plugin. Reason: Many websites are using the already existing on-site-notifications plugin and might want to stick to this. Having a new plugin for this would enable them to choose which one to use. Thanks!

It will be very important for the users using your plugin that you provide a way to migrate to the new native feature, to remove the DB changes, etc. Or maybe the native system should provide native compatibility with your plugin. Both are good options!

Answer 3

Many thanks to the admins and the developers for updating and fixing various issues regularly.
