Projects model

[janerikhy]

What?

Scientists and organizations should be able to create projects with areas of interest, species of interest and citizen scientists should be able to participate in these. Along with the project, there should be different challenges associated with it and by completing these challenges users should be rewarded with points.

How?

Create a new app and model for projects in the Django repo. The model should contain:

• Name
• Description
• One or more Scientists/Organizations
• Areas of interest (list of Polygon fields or potentially Multipolygon)
• Species of interest
• List of challenges (Should probably be a default list here)
• Citizen Science participants
• ImageField for uploading header image related to the project.
• Video upload for description (type TikTok videos)
• Leaderboard?

Considerations

Each project must have its own leaderboard, meaning that we must keep track of the score of each participant in the project. As of now, the CitizenScientist users have a field called points, but this is only updated when they upload an observation which is within an Area Of Interest polygon. Thus, it might be necessary to create a new model for participants, which will hold the score of the participant in the related project rather than extracting points for this area of interest.

TO DO:

• [x] Create Project app
• [x] Create model for projects
• [x] Create view and URL for different projects
• [ ] Create a simple project HTML template.

The location property doesn't seem to do much for the project as we already have an area of interest model which is supposed to account for the same thing. Try to override the ProjectForm save() method so that the researcher can draw a polygon and area of interest is automatically created from that polygon.

• Area name can be the same as the project name.
• Scientist field is equal to the request.user
• Observations defaults to none.
