Sign up experience is broken

[mblayman]

The login does not send to /start/ anymore. Also, the wizard is too many steps. Even after completing the wizard, there are still more steps (e.g., creating and enrolling a student).

Simplify!

• Remove old wizard views
• After first sign in, show a single form that:
  • creates a school year
  • creates a grade level
  • creates a course
  • creates a course task
  • creates a student
  • creates an enrollment
  • welcomes people, explains the app, explains the core data model
• Add Profile.onboarding_complete (default to False) - initially default to True for exist users
• Add middleware that launches the form and no other available action
• Add start view
• Add template
• Add landing after completion
• Bonus: date picker?
• Bonus: placeholder text that represent the current year and current year + 1 for the start and end date

For your date picker this might work.
