"How to use it" docs should either explain to newbies how to make a Django project or link to some good docs elsewhere that do the job #117

Yeah my main confusion was that the documentation currently assumes you already have a Django app and I wondered if I might have missed something that told me how to get to that stage, so even just the following on this page would be an improvement:

If you don't yet have a Django project, follow the instructions to set one up.

Followed by the existing paragraph:

Add this campaign_finance app as well as the underlying calaccess app that contains the raw government database it will work with to refine to your Django project’s settings.py file:
