Create contact form

[estebistec]

It's on Julia's design, we don't have it yet in the code. Probably something simple, like this [1]. Will probably go to the groups private gmail address when a site visitor submits.

UPDATES:

• For now, will just submit against the home-page URL and return to that page with a message (using the django messages framework), and the form at the bottom will be reset.
• Also need to investigate how caching works on a page with a form and a message after form submission.

I've heard Mark may have wanted to do this? I'll leave some time for him or whoever else wants to pick this up. If I run out of other things to do I'll probably pick it up.

I poked at the contact form a bit tonight. Progress checked in at [1]. Code review welcome, especially on the styles. I plan on continuing with this tomorrow evening, etc.

Remaining:

• Style form error messages in some acceptable manner
• Deal with the web-kit text-area placeholder style wrapping issue [2]
• Code up form submission.
• Code up fallback from HTML5 placeholders [3]
• Code up the successful-POST message on homepage
• Setup an email backend and code up the message-send

Made a decent amount of progress in a series of short spurts between chasing kids around this weekend :). This is up and running here right now:

Andrew, could you please test the contact form and see that an email comes to the pythonkc@gmail inbox. The email templates are very simple. If there's anything you'd like changed about them, lemme know or just go edit [1].

Finished

• Form submission
• Emailing based on contact form submission
• Form field error messages styled consistently with original page design (at least as best as can be done with my judgement :))

Remaining

• Deal with the web-kit text-area placeholder style wrapping issue [2]
• Code up fallback from HTML5 placeholders [3]
• Code up the successful-POST message on homepage (I might just do this real quick tonight...)
