This is my first plugin and I really struggled with Ruby etc. so please a) forgive any bad coding or ignorance of how Ruby, or Javascript, or Github, or anything else works. All new to me. Having said that I completely ripped the autowatch code from a redmine plugin which I thought was awesome. I needed that because my idea was most simply implemented by adding the links after each watcher, and to do that the easiest way was to make sure that everyone involved on an issue was a watcher - hence I took the code from the original plugin by mezza and I think thorin or maybe mephi-ut. Not sure which but I was a bit confused - hope this was alright and I hope this ack is also sufficient -
