Weekly summary email should split queue between Commercial and ARB

[James Westby]

Reading the weekly summary email (which is very useful, thanks) doesn't make it clear what is the ARB
and what is commercial, making it a little hard to draw any conclusions.

It would be nice to include this split. In fact sending two mails might be preferable?

Thanks,

James

Adding a brief implementation discussion:

<achuni> james_w: quick couple of questions about #914366 if you have a minute
<james_w> sure
<achuni> james_w: I can think of two ways to separate arb from commercial apps in the report: having two lists, or a single but flagging each arb app with a star or a "(arb)" or something
<achuni> james_w: this could be done to just the backlog section, or for each section of the report
<achuni> james_w: also, would you expect the totals to be split out also into arb vs. commercial, or just the list itself?
<james_w> achuni, I was thinking something like that, but when writing the report I realized that for all the sections you might want to know arb vs commercial
<james_w> so perhaps two emails is better?
<achuni> james_w: right, that was the other question :)
<james_w> achuni, I don't really know what I would expect :-)
<achuni> james_w: when you suggest two emails, does that mean one mail with only arb stuff and another one with everything, or one with only arb stuff and one with only commercial stuff?
<achuni> I'd imagine the latter, but it's not what we do for notifications (where the arb mailing list gets only arb notifications, but the commercial notifications list gets everything)
<james_w> achuni, I was thinking the latter
<james_w> but I'm also now not sure that we want to divide so strongly between the two, as really we should consider them the same eventually I think
<achuni> yup
<james_w> achuni, so I suggest going with the simplest thing for now (e.g. * against ARB apps)
<james_w> we'll see next week whether anyone has any better ideas
<achuni> james_w: we could also be inconsistent, and do * against most sections, but two separate lists for the backlog
<achuni> james_w: simplest sounds good :)

1 reason for a split is it might be useful to the ARB to bolster morale to see that they got x apps out this week, it would also act as a tool for encouraging new members at the end of each term.

A simple split out of the arb apps which could be emailed separately to the ARB list with just their apps on and then also added to the general mailing list would be cool. Not sure how doable that would be though, something to think about though maybe.
