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

21. Specifying 'choices' for a field

Most fields take a ``choices`` parameter, which should be a tuple of tuples
specifying which are the valid values for that field.

For each field that has ``choices``, a model instance gets a
``get_fieldname_display()`` method, where ``fieldname`` is the name of the
field. This method returns the "human-readable" value of the field.
