Framework upgrade #27

Is there a reason why tagteam is still running rails 3.2. I believe the current security fixes in the current release of rails outweigh the reasons why tagteam should still be running on be an older version of rails. I am not sure yet but strong parameters in rails 4.2 alone sounds like a good compromise. Also the code in the models and controllers are cluttered. We could clean things up by thinking more of a domain-driven development and introduce micro-services than what we currently have on this project. Just my two cents. I could help on the project if need be.

Moreover, if the future of this project is going to have subscription to feeds as a major feature, then I think Action Cable in rails 5 could be something we might want to be thinking about now.

We are doing this currently - the rails 5 version of the app is in testing. You can check out the code on the dev branch if you are curious. We're always up for help - we have a large list of internal issues if you are still interested.

Thanks!
