Cleanup in org_app and replace ReferenceProperty with LinkProperty Using LinkProperty allows the org to host their idea's list on Melange through the Document system, and then specify the URL of that document. This also makes it possible for the orgs to specify a document that is not hosted on Melange. Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier

    Middleware that sets REMOTE_ADDR based on HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, if the
    latter is set. This is useful if you're sitting behind a reverse proxy that
    causes each request's REMOTE_ADDR to be set to 127.0.0.1.

    Note that this does NOT validate HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR. If you're not behind
    a reverse proxy that sets HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR automatically, do not use
    this middleware. Anybody can spoof the value of HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, and
    because this sets REMOTE_ADDR based on HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR, that means
    anybody can "fake" their IP address. Only use this when you can absolutely
    trust the value of HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR.
