Create separate app for Events/Hackathons that reads/writes to FirstToDisclose #130

After speaking to @dazzaji about the functionality we're looking for, I think we're agreed that FirstToDisclose should focus on disclosing innovations, and the event management functionality should be a separate app (onlinehackathon.org, perhaps) that can consume FTD's API in order to write hackathon projects directly to FTD. It can use all of the functionality we've built into FirstToDisclose through the API, without polluting the ecosystem of FirstToDisclose with tangentially related functionality. Sort of like "OnlineHackathons.net powered by FirstToDisclose" or something similar. Looking for input on this idea.

I definitely agree. It's fundamentally sound to keep such radically different things encapsulated on some level.

I'm sure that later we'll be able weave them together in fun ways.
