Web Hooks

[ianjkalin]

Regarding:

"After you have published your content to a DOC bureau’s public GitHub repository, you must email mkruger@doc.gov with the link to your repository so that the DOC GitHub account can “watch” your repository and be notified of updates. DOC will do this by selecting the “Watch” button at the top of your repository."

From @benbalter:

"This can be somewhat automated by organization-wide web hooks (https://github.com/blog/1933-introducing-organization-webhooks) which could subscribe to repository-creation events and kick off a follow request via the API."

Sounds better, but does DOC really want to watch the repos? Anything can be investigated after the fact, I just don't see how DOC will be able to actually monitor things in real time.
