Updated OpenCleveland projects list source

Working on addressing opencleveland/opencleveland.github.io#11

This URL is supposed to point to JSON describing the projects, yes? As in the example: http://projects.betanyc.us/projects

Hi,

@eamonjohnson - I think that is correct. Right now, the code for the projects page on our website goes to San Francisco's instead of ours. I'll fix that shortly.

@shankera - Thanks for making the pull request and interest.

According to the CFA ReadMe, it can link to either a .csv file or a JSON file. They have instructions on how to create a .csv through google spreadsheets, which is what I've done here.

This is an example of a google spreadsheet being used for the San Francisco brigade.

nice catch.

I did update the site to now use our current list in the CFA api which is better than what it was before with SF, and the descriptions rely on each github repositories' descriptions.

Admittedly, this still can be improved as using github.com/opencleveland as the projects_list_url results in the projects being sorted by when they were last updated (and this include upstream repositories, so as a result, tacofancy is one of the first ones displayed on http://www.opencleveland.org/projects/

The projects button was still linking to Github.

I created the .csv list because it seemed like a bunch of the OpenCleveland repositories were either sandbox-type or not really projects that were not really that essential (such as tacofancy).

Also, repos like the RNC map and 'flu-shots' which says inactive/deprecated seem like they could be filtered out if we maintain the list of projects in a separate document instead of pulling from github.

Good points.
