Notification when story is accepted; "tell me when this story is accepted" would be cool, too.

I would love it if I could get an e-mail when a story's accepted. The rejection e-mail is helpful, but it'd rock if Tracker would ping me when someone's signed off on a story after I've finished it.

And as to pie-in-the-sky ideas, I know a bunch of people here would love it if there were an "e-mail me when this story is accepted" button on every story, so you could have Tracker update you on stories that aren't your own.

Wow. I'd hate that. I can't imagine not being able to sort in-progress vs. upcoming stuff.

But the confusion could be a nomenclature issue. "Backlog" doesn't always make sense to people when you first start out -- it sounds a lot like "icebox," as in "things that will never get done." A "backlog" to most people is a stack of things you're trying to get around to that're behind schedule.

People started liking the backlog a lot better when we started calling it a "queue" -- we all understand that though you may wait awhile in line, eventually your turn always comes up. It's reassuring.
