Diego, that is definitely what we're thinking about for the subscriptions
options -- giving users the ability to choose whether they want to
subscribe to every new thread, or just get a notification that a new thread
has been created. The balance that we have to figure out is how to provide
options on that page-by-page level without forcing people to go through two
clicks every time.
Right now, the list of items on the roadmap is on the Mediawiki Flow page.
[1] We're not enforcing a strict centralized place for discussions right
now; they're happening in a few different places. I'm going to be talking
with the Community team later this week to see what we can do about that. I
think the EE mailing list [2] is probably the best place to see what's
current and talk with the team.
We'll probably be tackling the subscription/notifications question in more
detail in a few weeks. Right now, we're working on Hide, the Table of
Contents, Search and the LiquidThreads transition. There's a lot to do! But
we'll definitely be getting back to notification options before too long.

Some people are seeing Flow messages as really
important, something that
they want to get updates on right away -- and "right away" can mean
either
in their watchlist where they go all the time, or
in Echo where they'll

the notification. Other people see Flow messages
as something they'll get
to later, and they want to see more of a message inbox.
And then you have people like me who see them as *both*, just not for
the same pages. I've suggested that some topics and boards should
raise notifications and not others, depending on how important each
topic is for the user.
At least one other editor suggested that this could be done with a
check ("notify me of updates for this board") to be selected on the
pop-up that appears when you add a topic to your watchlist. Is there
someone taking note of all these scattered suggestions in a central
place where they can be discussed?
