Facilitate communication among users

Jen mentioned that we want a way people can contact others through the site, like a "messaging" type thing.

I haven't worked out the details, but this is definitely something we can do with email. Since we require users to register with an email address this makes sense.

The minimum effort would be to just include a button that launches the user's email client with the recipient already populated. Then the app wouldn't need to do anything more.

At most, we could include threaded discussions within the dashboard and add "reply by email" functionality kinda like GitHub does. This is best, but most difficult.

I think we should include the first option and then see if we have time towards the end of the project to implement something more complex.
