Research and write a privacy policy/opt-in document

What would we be asking from (end) users ?

@scopatz wrote a draft of this on the sprint etherpad, which I guess should get moved somewhere else.

Do you think we need an end-user info document between the one-sentence question and the privacy policy? I was assuming the privacy policy was going to be fairly legalistic, but so far that looks quite readable.

[scopatz]

Documents don't need to be legal jargon to be legally binding. Besides, what we are trying to do here is fairly simple, so it doesn't need a lot of fancy language. I'll open a PR. I am assuming that we don't have NF standing yet....

We'll probably need to get a lawyer to look it over to be sure, but yeah,
that will have to wait until after NF agrees to take this on (assuming they
do!). Writing an email to them about that now, and IIUC their next board
meeting is this Mon.
.
To answer @takluyver's question, I think we'll also want some sort of
end-user-friendly document (a FAQ?) that explains the project more
generally (what data's being collected, examples of how it will let us do
awesome stuff, how the collection works, etc.)?
