Hi,
I think it should be done. To address the problem and fears that DarkWyrm and
others have mentioned, I suggest to introduce a non-optional "importance"
parameter to be handled to the notification function. This way the programmer
is forced to conciously decide what the importance level of the message is.
For the configuration of the server, I suggest a two way filter. The simple
configuration would be the level of importance below which messages are
suppressed. Additionally to that, the user should be allowed to suppress
messages of certain applications. To make this easy, the GUI for that should
list all known applications which have send notifications up to this point.
DarkWyrm and others, do you think this would address your concerns?
Best regards,
-Stephan
