Integrating a mechanism for members to contact each other #3

We could let people add a Firefox Hello link as well as their Skype contact. It could also be phone number / irc and/or email.

If we're talking minimum viable app then a simple contact form with a predefined message would be enough to start with.

I am sure there is an existing django project that could let use implement that.

http://django-messages.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ seems to be a good candidate

I took a look at this... not sure if it is going to work, as how would a user know there is a new message? I'm not expecting users to log in that often (or remain logged in), so any in-app messaging would need to include a notification email too. Ideally, we'd want to allow users to turn these off via their account settings if that is their preference. Not sure it is worth the pain when we could just email them (for now) and let them continue their conversation in whatever way they choose.
