A proposal has been made to add “private whispers” or “private notes” to topics, allowing users to post personal notes that only they can see. codinghorror suggests that sending PMs to oneself, a feature available since 1.6 beta, could serve a similar purpose.
sam mentions that improving whisper support is on the long-term plan, but not scheduled for a specific release. One potential feature, whisper permission groups, which would allow specifying which groups can see whispers, is likely 2 years away.
sam explains that implementing whisper permission groups would be a complex change, requiring significant updates to the permission model and unread count tracking. This would involve renaming columns, making changes to the permission model, and ensuring no performance impact, potentially requiring 2 weeks of work. loginerror expresses interest in this feature.
Since we introduced the “animals database” in our goat farming community, people would like to add “private” messages (aka whispers) in their own topics and use it like personal notes.
Hence this proposal to add a “private whisper” or “private note” for users to post into topics. I love the universal “private note” name.
Anyone would like such a feature? How would you use it?
For notes, people can send PMs to themselves as of 1.6 beta.
Is this also possible to be planned or not really?
Improving whisper support is on our long term plan, but not slotted on to any particular release.
Maybe one day we will support whisper permission groups, but this is probably 2 years out to say the least.
어떤 그룹이 속삭임을 볼 수 있는지 지정할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다 
마지막으로 이 문제를 살펴봤을 때보다 훨씬 더 복잡할 정도로, 엄청나게 복잡한 변경 사항이 될 것입니다.
문제는 속삭임(whispers)이 존재하는 경우에도 주제 목록의 오른쪽에 "읽지 않은 수"를 유지하는 코드가 많이 있다는 점입니다. 따라서 "스태프가 볼 수 있는 것 - 수"와 "비스태프가 볼 수 있는 것 - 수"를 추적하는 여러 열(column)이 있습니다.
최소한 모든 해당 항목의 이름을 변경해야 하지만, 그 이후에도 권한 모델 등에 대한 추가 변경 사항이 필요할 것입니다. 이는 현재와 동일한 성능 영향을 미치지 않으면서 제대로 작동하도록 만들기 위해서는 아마도 2주 정도의 작업이 필요한 상당히 큰 변경 사항입니다.
