Create homepage for the django backend and adding about and purpose of the extension (!140) · Merge requests · aossie / Aossie Scholar

Checklist:

Create a homepage/landing page for the Django backend and add the about and purpose of the extension.

The following feature from issue #85 (closed) has been achieved:

Implement a homepage or landing page that would show all the details and information of the AOSSIE Scholar Extension page such as the purpose of the extension, and a link to the detailed documentation file which would describe the installation and local setup of the extension, etc.
Removing any remaining backend bugs and updating the profile and background page.
Created an "app" which is a Django concept for things and can be extracted from it (for example, authentication which can be used in other applications too).
Created static pages like "landing", "aim" and "about".
Added it to Django's INSTALLED_APPS and then append the extension to the end of those other ones because it will be needed. The newly created pages app will have a new pages folder with a couple of python files and the Particular ones that interest us are pages/urls.py and pages/views.py.
When a request comes to the server, Django will find a "view", a function that will process the request and send the response. The way Django finds how to connect a URL that comes with the request and a view is via URL patterns which are located in the extension's main directory.
