Create contact form #1
Description
Activity
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

[3] http://css-tricks.com/6841-textarea-tricks/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...)

[3] http://css-tricks.com/6841-textarea-tricks/Added a message for after contact-form submission. You can view it directly without submitting here:
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.
