880833 - Let users opt-in to BSD mailing list on subscription

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webmaker Graveyard :: webmaker.org, defect)

Description

[Brett Gaylor [:brett]]

At registration, users should be prompted to join our mailing list.  This should populate the user fields that indicate they can be contacted.  Needs to be opt-in.

To be a bit more specific:

The first time a user signs in (using Persona to authenticate their identity) to our system, we create a Webmaker account (and subdomain) for them - this is "registration."

At that point, we also need to give them a prompt to join our mailing list. The prompt must be opt-in (default unchecked) using language such as:

 [ ] Send me email updates about Mozilla Webmaker and other projects

     (Your personal information is handled according to our _privacy policy_)

where _privacy policy_ links to http://www.mozilla.org/about/policies/privacy-policy.html

Here's the tricky part: the subscription is handled by another system (BSD or Blue State Digital) so when a user opts-in to this list, what we want to do is log that somewhere such that someone can go get it later and import it into BSD. I suggest that we log just as a list of email addresses that have opted in, along with the date and time stamp of when that opt-in was done.
