Improve "Create new account" page #25

I'd like to add a text field to the registration form where people are asked to let us know why they're creating an account on localize.backdropcms.org.

I'm limiting the target of this issue to improve the registration page with a text field where people can (have to) express their area of interest.

For reference, this was the original issue title and description:

Improve User account pages

Let's inform people on the page "Create user account" and on the "Login" page about the status of the localization site and ask them what they're interested in.

For now: Tell people if it's already possible to collaborate as a community manager or a translator for a specific language. The answer would be "maybe", and we could suggest two options:

  • Don't register now, follow progress on Github.
  • Please register, inform us about what you're interesting in, and allow us to contact you.

To make the latter possible, I'd like to add a checkbox and a text field to the register form.

I've added the text field to the registration form, made it required and provided the following help text:

Please let us know why you're creating an account on localize.backdropcms.org. Examples:

  • I'd like to submit translation suggestions for Spanish.
  • I'd like to moderate the Russian translation group.

To discuss details, we'll get in touch with you via email.

Potential follow-up when the localization server is ready: Give people more detailed instructions, maybe linking to another page.
