Excellent!  Can the asker not already submit an answer?>  If no, then
yes, add that in!

Simply the activity is enough, yes?  Perhaps this will inspire more
"activity driven" notification within Vilfredo.  Every time an action
is taken some data is shared with the user through the site, with the
user or a group of users through email, and some then sent to be
available through crossforum.

Tracking your questions so as to receive notifications seems to be
useful.  Within Votorola there is a system for noting the geography of
a poll and a user.  In addition the polls are organized and can have
all manner of further tags, categories, or other metadata that group
and sort them.  "Friends" or a "Voting group" isn't so far behind,
then.
