[File restructuring]Django apps should be defined in project root

[brylie]

Currently, this project is defining some Django apps in the cbv3_django_prototype/cbv3_django_prototype sub-directory. The project_name/project__name sub-directory is conventionally used for project-wide configuration. The Cookiecutter Django project may recommend a different file structure, but it is not apparent from a quick search of the documentation. However, running python manage.py startapp app_name in the project root creates the app in the project root, which is a fairly conventional project structure. This is a small mistake that is easy to fix.

Task

• [ ] Consider reorganizing the project, so that apps are created in the project root (rather than in the nested directory)
• [ ] Move all existing apps (namely, resources and users) to the project root

Reference

• Django docs - Projects and applications

Hold until #43 is complete.

Could be completed with #30 and #50.

I'm not convinced we want to implement this. The project root contains items unrelated to Django such as the nginx configuration, the postman collection, and the docker-compose.yaml.

For clarification, the project root is where manage.py is located (currently backend/cbv3_django_prototype). The repository root is where the docker-compose.yaml is located (currently backend/).

It is conventional for Django apps to be defined in the project root. Following Django conventions makes our codebase easier to approach by new users, particularly when they are familiar with Django conventions.

Awesome, understood. This makes a lot of sense.
