Is this what you're looking for jesse? http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/v3.13/issue_filters_subscribing.html
(thanks a million to gxti for pointing it out!) I think I tried this one before, but the mails from it didn't look so nice. It's just a simple list, which always contains (e.g.) 100 items, even no issue got updated. This makes sense since it just applies a filter on FITS and generates a list.
I want something like that of bugzilla, that when a bug is changed, you get a mail containing a little summary of the change. The feed also has this problem (you get a full report every time, and have to scroll down to see the new comment). But it feels a bit less severe than emails. Following my last comment, I think the above feed (http://issues.foresightlinux.org/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-rss/temp/SearchRequest.xml?&sorter/field=issuekey&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=updated&sorter/order=DESC&tempMax=10
) can use some improvement too.
Especially when some change is made that involve no new comments (e.g. new assignee, close/resolve), I have to follow the link and find out the actual change on FITS. I tried the 'Comments' feed of the filters (instead of 'Issues'), but this one only talks about comments, nothing about status change either. Anyway, I think the feeds are quite good and it can't be beyond what jira provides. The feeds and the emails (I'm in some developer groups) are good enough for me.
Now we need a simple paragraph about this in wiki. |

instruction about how to watch for FITS updates
I think this can be the recommended way to watch FITS. Or we could burn a simpler feed for this, so it can be easily linked from everywhere.
Email alerts still remains to be done.
