We have discussed how a mySQL or Postgres would be a better bet for the database longer term as it is more fully featured. This needs setting up and migrating over to at some point. The plan would be for the new database to be hosted on a server and accessed remotely rather than the current set up where the database is a local file committed to github (as I understand it).
[ ] Set up mySQL or postgres server
[ ] Change settings in Django to point to the new database server and set any required credentials
[ ] Migrate data to the new database
[ ] Test this is working and the site is able to use this new database
[ ] Document on the wiki how to switch between the local sqlite we have been using (for development) and the new server based database
