Preferences

Registered users can now express some preferences. These preferences are recorded at user registration and can be modified when visiting the "My account" link ("Edit", then "Preferences"). The first preference applies to everyone: users that want to hear about new features that are being released should check this box. The other three preferences are more oriented towards providers, asking if they are open to consulting, volunteering, or new career opportunities.

For now, these are placeholders to capture users' preferences early on; at the moment, none of these are being used (for example, we haven't been sending out e-mails announcing our new features). As the site matures, these preferences may come into play. Let us know if you have other ideas of preference options that you think we should offer.
