and initial set up (create an admin user, give the site a title, name the current game jam) and a database  
will be created in the current directory

Developing/Contributing Notes
----
Do not make changes to `assets.go`, this file is generated when you run `go generate`  
Pass in the `-dev` flag to enable development mode (load assets from the file system instead of embedded).  
After making changes to assets (templates, javascript, css) be sure to run `go generate` before `go build`  
This regenerates the assets.go file  

Please use the go tooling to match the standard go coding style. For parts that aren't bound by that style,  
either try to match the already existing style, or give a reason why you think it should change.
