- How do notifications work in LGBTI News Turkey teams on Launchpad?
===

If you join a team, please make sure to subscribe to its mailing list. You may subscribe to a bug report yourself. You should also receive notifications if you assign yourself to the bug.

Notices are automatically sent according to a team's role in the project. For instance, the social media team receives notifications only about translations that are more or less completed sice they have to post the translations on media outlets.

As of now, email notices are sent:
* about 'new' (translation proposal / oneri), 'confirmed' (source is approved for translation), and 'fix committed' (ready for edits) to the translation team.
* about 'fix committed' (ready for edits) bugs to the editors team.
* about 'fix committed' (ready for edits), and 'fix released' (published) bugs to the social media team.
* when a bug is opened (proposed translation) or closed (translation published) to the coordination team.
* about all bugs to the maintenance team.
