689369 - Make Want to Help form dynamic to add additional fields for specific areas of interest

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, enhancement)

Description

[David Boswell]

It would be nice to have the Want to Help? form be able to ask for additional information depending on the area of interest someone selects.  For instance, if someone is interested in localization, finding out the languages they are fluent in is useful but it wouldn't necessarily but useful for all areas.

Based on conversations with people, this could apply to at least:

* a language drop-down for localization
* a field for school for student reps
* a programming language field for coding

Casey, since it looks like things are wrapping up with the Security section bug, I wanted to see if this bug was something you'd be interested in next?

Comment 2

[Casey Becking]

I would love to take it on.

Casey, that's great.  

A good place to start is taking a look at the code for the current form at

http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.org/trunk/includes/forms/

Just like with the Security section bug, we can check in patches to this form on stage to try things out before moving the changes to production.

Let me know if the original description in this bug has enough information for you to get started or if further description would be helpful.

Sorry its been a little while, is this bug still relevant?

Yes, people are still interested in this.

I believe the recent Get Involved redesign invalidates this bug.
