Description

Currently, the contact form provided on EvalAI is to reach EvalAI admins. There should be a feature where the challenge hosts put up contact email on challenge configuration, which can then be used to send a message via the participants to the challenge hosts via EvalAI. This will make things easier for admins as well as the participants.

Pre-requisites/Learnings

This issue essentially requires background on a few things:

• An overall understanding of EvalAI challenges.
• An understanding of the EvalAI frontend.

How to Approach

• You can start by setting up EvalAI locally. Set up the dev version locally (preferred) using the steps here.
• Add a new attribute to the challenge model contact_email.
• Add a form section on the challenge Overview page to send messages to challenge hosts.
• Reach out to us regarding any issues that you face or if you need any help with understanding any of the above.

Next step for this would be allowing the hosts to update the contact email via challenge configuration.
