You have a couple of issues "assigned" to you in the 1.5 milestone.
They all relate to notifications. I think these issues sort of
morphed into what you are working on now. It'd be helpful if you
could update them, close them, create new issues etc.. I am not sure
if there is any remaining work on notifications in general. If there
is, it is possible pburba could take on that remaining work so you can
focus on the above. We just need you to define what might be
remaining.

I think these would be nice to have, but I suspect we are at the point
where we have to start thinking about a 1.6 release for things like
this. Especially since it involves UI which always has some bikeshed
around it. If you have the time though, by all means, take a crack at
it.
