G'day everyone I wish to address the following three issues from my previous mail:
> The assumption is that the e-mail address a user uses for contact with > Pootle will be the same e-mail address he wants to use for attribution > in the PO file (assuming he is aware of the attribution). > What's more, many people munge their addresses in PO headers... > Another somewhat related problem I have, is that there is no mechanism > for users to contact each other. Currently, the registration page and the profile page (options.html) contain fields for the Name, Email, Password and Confirm password. I propose that two extra fields be added to it: * Display Name (used for attribution purposes): [________________] * Address where other users may contact me: [________________] When a user registers, the above two fields are filled in automatically (using JavaScript, I think) after the user has typed in his name and e-mail address (although users can change/delete them). The autogenerated display name should contain the user's name and munged mail address. So if his name is Joe Soap and his mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], the autogenerated Display Name would be: Joe Soap <joe[at]soap[dot]com> The autogenerated name where a user wants to be contacted, should be the same as his display name, but not munged (so that it can easily be imported into a mail program): Joe Soap <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Of course, the user can remove and/or change these entries if he wants to, but by default they are entered, and if the user clicks "Register", he automatically gives permission that the information be used as stated. I don't know what is the best way to store this information, but at least the name/address where a user can be contacted should be stored in a separate file that can easily be downloaded as-is by anyone with read access to the server-side, so that project administrators can use the information (eg to introduce translators to each other, or to send a newsletter to translators). Your thoughts?
