Allow users on the map to send a message to the owners of the node from NodeAtlas #89

This gets around the issue of publicizing your email address, and allows people to use Hyperboria-only email addresses. @SashaCrofter and I discussed this briefly on IRC.

The problem with this is mostly the SMTP complexity. If the user composes the message through the GUI, then it could just be sent via NodeAtlas's configured SMTP settings.

The problem wiht that is that would imply the existence of an API endpoint, which makes this sort of thing much harder. NodeAtlas should avoid making itself an open relay at all costs.

The solution may be CAPTCHA-related, (see #71), which presents its own API-related problems.

@SashaCrofter what else needs to be done for this issue to be closed? Is it strictly in need of a front-end interface for the user?

alexander-bauer commented 11 years ago

The only thing that we still need is a front end. Everything else is

functional.

@lukevers's work on the front end (#118) completes this.
