The Contact field should be moved up to above the tabs, and allow for multiple values. The email will not be displayed on the page, but rather just a "Contact" button on the top of the page. This will open a popup modal, with the contact name(s), but not the email displayed. A user can type out a subject, and message, with their name and email getting automatically added from their account.
We'll need to work out validation for determining if the user is logged in. The Contact button should display even if they aren't logged in.
Because of concerns of spam, we shouldn't display the contact email anywhere. The user will receive an email copy of their message, including the contact's name, but not their email.
[Update] Contact field for 4.0 will:
- Remove "Contact Name" and "Contact Affiliation" since these will not be shown in the UI anyway (replaced by a Contact button)
- Just allow users to enter email (need to validate)
- tabling option to add other types of contact information for now (Skype, google+, personal website, etc)
- Allow for Multiple (+/-) see redmine ticket: https://redmine.hmdc.harvard.edu/issues/3538
