pubsub is not my main concern here.<br>

</span> Right. But similar change was introduced some time later to pinax version [1]<br>

<br>
</span> Original app is also on on pypi [2]. It also supports current Django<br>
versions. I believe deb packages can be created from it as well (I couldn't<br>
locate any deb-packaging specific code in notification app, so I assume you're<br>
using pybuild or something similar).<br>
<br>
I've checked also geonode-user-accounts. While it's missing geonode-<br>
notification dependency in setup.py, it's using it for sending registration<br>
moderation emails [3]. I believe this could be decoupled from geonode-user-<br>
accounts, using signal handler in geonode [4]. Do you think it is possible to<br>
synchronize with django-user-accounts or port geonode-specific changes (like<br>
registration moderation) to upstream?<br>
<br>
I'm making an attempt to replace notification app with original pinax<br>
version, as it's better maintained. Part of it would be to use<br>
NOTIFICATIONS_MODULE setting, which would name notification app (notification<br>
or pinax.notifications). Also, integration code is repeated in management/<br>
__init__.py files in several places. I'm rewriting this to have single point<br>
of installation of notification types (with respect to INSTALLED_APPS).<br>
