The database will serve the following purpose:



1) Lets a user submit a project idea (this person then becomes the proposer)



2) People go to the Project Ideas view, click on the project ideas up for discussion, and cast their vote in favor or against the project.



3) The proposer edits the project idea doc, selects the option to convert the idea to a project, and submits - the idea automatically gets converted to a project, with the proposer automatically becoming the "master chef" or project lead for that project



4) The master chef opens the project doc, clicks on a button to post an "Opening" document, asking for volunteers to join the project



5) People click on the "Openings" link to apply to an opening



6) The master chef accepts a person who's applied, and this person becomes a member of the team



7) The master chef and team works on the project using Crucible for discussions/idea exchanges/etc, and once a release is finalized, opens the project management db and "Posts a release", which becomes available to the general public.



8) The master chef can post as many releases as they want, and also post news articles about the project whenever they want - these articles show up on the welcome page along with the latest releases and opening
