Should Remarkbox email the ``Namespace`` owners when they get a new
comment (or weekly digest)?

Should Remarkbox email a ``User`` when somebody comments on a thread
they were active in (or weekly digest)?

**Update**

Email notifications have been added to Remarkbox. We now notify based on
the following:

-  notify replies
-  notify ``watched`` threads
-  notify ``Namespace`` owners

In addition you may control the frequeny of email notifications:

-  ``never``
-  ``immediately``
-  ``daily``
-  ``weekly``

Checkout the `user settings <https://meta.remarkbox.com/u/settings>`__
page for details.

I'd say it depends on the use case. In some instances a comment is
submitted to intrigue other readers, while in another scenario the
commenter could be asking a question that could warrant a quick reply. I
think flexibility is the answer here, let the admin decide how often to
be notified. The email to other commenter seems more of a guess to me,
but I'd think daily/immediately would be my default method. It's safer
to have more timely notifications than letting them get stale. This also
helps the admin appear truly engaged with users.
