[cw-discuss] Submission of new application don't work

[Timothy Spaulding]

Hi Jeremy,

Since you're updating the notification anyway, I have a feature request.  <bigger grin>  It would
be way more useful if you could subscribe to a category or application that is already submitted
to get notifications via email when there are changes in your subscribed area.  There are several
applications I'm interested in but don't have time to try out.  I'd love to get notified when
others have had success and posted the information.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks,

tims
