Thanks again to those who created Echo. It is being used widely in my circles and I get lots of useful notices these days.

* I would like to suggest making more of the notices send email by default, especially thanks notifications.

* I heard another user suggest sending a notification when a file that someone uploads to Commons is added to a Wikipedia article. I think that is a great idea. Can this be done?

* I would like to ask about the thanks system on Meta. I started to use the Echo thanks system to thank who are answering questions on the Annual Plan talk page, including some of you on this list, and I ran into some differences from English Wikipedia. On Meta I am asked for the revision ID of the edit for the thanks notification, and after thanking a user the "thank" link for an edit doesn't change to "thanked". Will Meta thanks notifications be upgraded in the future to function like ENWP's does?
