[Insight-developers] Gerrit Open Topics Noise

[Marcus D. Hanwell]

Hans,

You could just click on the bookmark again - it is a live view. In addition
if you "watch" the ITK project (in your settings, watched projects), then
clicking on Watched Changes in the My menu would show you all of the open
commits in your watched projects. I find this to be a useful view, and the
user can decide which projects to watch.

I think the combination of watched changes and bookmarks should be enough to
get most people there. Perhaps there is scope to suggest further
improvements to Gerrit too.
