My favorite “project awareness” technique for work was through pipes and I’ve never had something as quick as way back then. I had a yahoo pipe that combined and deduped about 10-15 jira projects and about 30-50 GitHub commit streams into a single rss feed that I read through google reader. It was glorious because it let me know quickly who changed what and when and where. And it was rss so I didn’t have to search through email or look at multiple notification pages.
