The new emails are in place and seem to work well enough. I suggest that we update all the user accounts and opt them in to these new emails, and that we make new users default to having these emails.

@aaronthornton Nup I had not realised. I'll change the wording to 'Unsubscribe or modify your email preferences' and make the link use the single access token so people don't need to be logged in. Then I think we're ready to go.

Love you @robertguthrie

I love @robertguthrie also! I reckon the Closing Soon emails are all good to push to default on, and that the daily summary will be as soon as there's easy unsubscribe!
The Closing soon notifications are SO VERY HELPFUL already!

Lovers and coders, I have finished the unsubscribe stuff.
@jonlemmon @aaronthornton
Can we please have a meeting to clear the outstanding pull requests tomorrow?

That we agree upon less noisy, more useful email defaults Closed Tue 4 Dec 2012 12:04AM
Another proposal
Further to the talk about enabling daily activity summary to on I think we need to consider all the email defaults together.
I suggest that once the new group email preferences are live we use the following defaults for new users.
Enabled:
Daily Activity Summary
Proposal Closing Soon
Mentioned
Disabled:
Instant notification of new discussions and motions for every group.
This should lower the volume of email going out, which will reduce the likelyhood of people marking our emails as spam.

I'd probably prefer this for myself. Not sure what the rest of our users would want though... Interested to see what the others say.

We email a feature update to users explaining new emails, and asking them to fill in a google survey on their preferences Closed Fri 7 Dec 2012 2:40PM
We email all the users with an update on new Loomio features, Particularly we explain:
- Daily Acitivity Summary Email
- Mentions
- Proposal Closing Soon Email
- User controlled discussion and motion notification emails
Finally we direct users to fill in a survey on what they think the defaults should be for a new user.

Like the part about emailing the new features out but would be more inclined to turn on the defaults and explain how they can be turned off.

Sending a survey along with the email sounds like a really really good idea!

Hey @robertguthrie, you probably know already, but the link at the bottom of the email currently take you to user settings not email preferences.
