Add notification triggers?
Using Jamroom
michael:
3.) create a separate module that listens for specific events and fires off an email when it finds them, maybe this is the easiest way, just check settings..... not sure....
What would probably work best for me and my network is a module that does the same thing as the list I have on my home page for updated photos. It listens for updates to JRgallery, which includes new uploads as well as any comments on already-uploaded images. I would like to receive an email every time this is triggered. And I would like my members to have the option to be notified by email too.

"Sponsor a module" cost is development time with an adjustment multiplier for usefulness. So if its something that we would build for everyone anyhow, then the cost is putting off whatever else we want to build that we want to build, or is probably more useful for more people. Since JR6 is currently in beta its got full focus right now, we want to get that released. If you need it done NOW that has to be put off til later so the cost is higher.
As a general guide for myself, I gauge it at around $40/hour then try to figure out how many hours it would take me.
I don't need it now. I've lived through years without it on Ning, always wishing for it. But it would certainly be an improvement to the life of my little group. So it would be great to have an estimate of what it would cost to create this, at the least expensive, most convenient time.
And if this is also of interest to Holly, it would be great to share. But I do understand the difficulty of meeting multiple people's expectations.
