Watch for changes

When you monitor an item, such as a task or a document, you are notified by email when that item is updated. You can also monitor a discussion forum or project news by subscribing to its Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed. In addition, TeamForge Activity Stream provides a feed of recent activities and updates from within the TeamForge project context. Activities include Tracker, Source Code, and external activities via EventQ sources.
