If you change the status to Submit, an email will be sent to the editors
to check the new submission.
In 3.5-alpha, I can't find the place where the editor(s) email addresses
are set for this feature. I expected this to be found by clicking a
Configure icon in the Publication List, or maybe in the Issue List if
there's a high staff turnover :-) but it's not in either of those places.
I set up a test user account with type: Editor, but there seems to be no
obvious way to link a specific editor username or email address to a
specific publication, issue or section. Any clues appreciated ;-)

Hi,
Congratulations, you've probably bumped into the oldest unrewritten feature of
Campsite. :)
The mail address is specified in Users/Staff, for each user. To turn the
notifications on, the option (user permission) to check is:
"User will be notified on several events"
As you can guess, the notifications are not granular. :(
All the best,
Sava

Thanks for explaining that.
I don't think this feature is actually working on http://campsite-dev.sourcefabric.org because this box is checked for my
user account, but I didn't get a notification by email when I created a
new article and changed its status to Submitted.
Unless this feature only works for *other* users articles, or the server
is not set up to send mail.

Hm, can't really recall whether it sends notifications for others' articles
only (that'd be kind of smart), as I normally turn the notification off on
my Campsite servers (I am a lone rider there). But I think the reason for it
not working on the server you mention is that the server may not be
configured to send mail.
