Implement customisable Mailman sign up bar or widget for Master Theme with Announce tick box

[noelmas]

This needs to be easily customisable (text and mailing list) for each instance of master them (WG or project).

Importantly this needs a tick box option (at any stage) as to whether they also want to sign up to OKFN Announce and receive news about the Open Knowledge Foundation.

What text needs to be customisable?

Presumably, if the tick box is selected the details are to be sent to the MailChimp list as well as the Mailman one?

[noelmas]

Cutsomisable text would just be the wording of the invitation "Please sign up" "Join us" etc

The tick box will mean the address is also sent to Mail Chimp for OKFN announce. Most other lists will be on Mailman

Ok, so we want someone to fill in their details once, and click one button, but two forms to be filled and sent. This is going to require some development work, assigning @zephod

[noelmas]

Exactly but to be clear their details only get sent to Mailchimp / OKFN Announce if they tick the box

[smth]

Yes sorry, potentially two forms to be filled and sent.

The existing MailChimp bar now supports Mailman, as seen here http://openeconomics.net/

The check-box is there, but disabled until we get the development done.

I might be blind, but I can't see that bar

Above the footer

@zephod it may also be useful to have the option of a separate Mailman list (as an alternate for Mailchimp) for the newsletter opt-in.

Assigning this to @nigelbabu I'd say this is low priority, but if you get a quiet period, you may want to think about it / discuss with @noelmas
