Mandatory fields #2

Discuss and probably change which fields are mandatory to submit a public-code. For example, "Release Date" is probably not critical, not important or not known for many CfA projects.

Working on it.

Please reduce the mandatory fields to just the name field during our development phase.

@LorenHeyns, what do you mean? I don't agree. Please, let me know if there is some mandatory field that is really annoying. I make a few that were mandatory in the original codebase, non mandatory. If we don't have any mandatory field publiccode.yaml will be useless.

I would suggest displaying the word "Incomplete" if all the desired fields are not entered, but still save the changes. It's helpful to save a form multiple times while editing and gathering info.
