[ASLO] ASLO build and deployment process (Jatin Dhankhar)

Hi, Jatin

In setting up Django, I think you will do it on your computer not on a 
separate server. Django handles that through its own server and has 
sgqlite as a database built-in. A good first start would be to set up 
the tutorial app (https://www.djangoproject.com/). Essentially you will 
need to install django and then set up the tutorial app 'poll'. Working 
through this tutorial will help a lot later on. The key point is that 
after initial setup, there are three important elements: url.py which 
defines the urls to access the application, views.py which is the python 
code that responds to a request by accessing the db and delivering the 
relevant information to a template. The template is an html file with 
variables of the form {{ activity.name }} transferring information from 
the view to the template.

What I have is an application: aslo. Once you have Django installed and 
have run the tutorial app through Django's server, you'll be ready. 
Essentially, you will only need to add aslo as a second app in the 
settings. One possible confusion is that DJango lives in a project - 
essentially a directory containing its manage.py admin interface. In the 
directory is another directory of the same name with the settings.py and 
url.py. The poll app is a directory in the top-level alongside the inner 
directory with the project name.

For example, my project is schoolsite. So my setup looks like:

/library/schoolsite/schoolsite
/library/schoolsite/aslo

Meanwhile my code links directly to an activity page with no index. I'll 
add an index so the essential structure will be there. I'll also include 
the 'fixtures' to set up a 25 activity capability. Fixtures are csv 
files from which the database (metadata) can be loaded.
