 - The notification subsystem will also implement a request handler for handling requests to the validation response address, for example /notification/validate, and, subsequently instruct the validator to try to validate the email address
 - The validator might implement a mechanism for timing out a given email validation process by associating a timestamp with each validation in progress
+- *NEW* The data model knows of the following states of an e-mail validation request: PENDING (newly added), VALID (user clicked on validation link provided in the mail), TIMEDOUT (validation request timed out), INVALID (after a given number of tries or by direct smtp query the validation request was invalidated)
+- *NEW* The request handler implemented by the notification subsystem handles the resource paths ''/notification/validate'' and ''/notification/renew''

+== Current Development Status ==

+- initial prototype is now working
+- integration into the preferences module is still missing
+- the api along with also the new extension points still needs some work but is quite stable right now
+- db upgrades are working smoothly
+- the data model might need a few extra attributes, right now there is ''address'', ''hash'', ''state'' and ''ts'' aka ''timestamp''
+- the template is hard coded and must be moved so that it can be translated
