RSR API for general data input

[zzgvh]

It's becoming more and more apparent that RSR needs a full-fledged CRUD API. Currently we have a read-only API that covers most of the data, and a custom solution for loading IATI-formatted data, turning them into projects.

Several parallel developments point at the need for an API that fully supports all HTTP verbs to enable the use of RSR as a service among many other services.

More work needs to be done on the permission of this feature.

Relevant user stories (https://trello.com/b/ttv77ac1/rsr-user-stories):

• As an authorised tehcnical member I can create and publish valid projects (# 220)
• As an authorised technical member I can create and publish valid organisations (# 221)
• As an authorised technical member I can edit projects and organisations (# 222)
• As an authorised technical Member I can manage the content for my organisation and the organisations that belong in my organisations network (# 276)

What is missing is the correct permissions access to allow for projects and organisations to be effectively managed through the API without granting full permissions to the user.

Gabriel says the issue is not relevant any more. The API is fairly close to fully general now
