De-vendor wagtail_flexible_forms

[vsalvino]

Currently we have vendored wagtail_flexible_forms by @BertrandBordage in order to provide support and integration within CodeRed CMS.

This is fine, however it is an ideal candidate to be split out into a separate pip package. This would be relatively trivial because it is already namespaced within coderedcms. The advantage here is that other wagtail sites could use it, and it could be an optional part of coderedcms.

While I wouldn't want to step on Bertrand's toes by taking over the project, we would have to fork and take over it in order to provide a pip package. Since a pip package was never created that would not technically be a problem.

If anyone has any input, please speak now!

Requirements:

• Create separate wagtail_flexible_forms repository (While I would normally want to provide a fork, the code would then not be searchable on github, etc., and the original does not seem to be maintained).
• Create at a minimum basic unit tests, ideally 60-70% coverage to ensure there is no major breakage.
• Document the package extensively. Currently there is no documentation.
• Publish a pip package
• Remove the code in coderedcms, and integrate the new package.

Feel free to take over wagtail_flexible_forms if you want :)
I can transfer the ownership of the repository to coderedcorp and same for the PyPI package.

@BertrandBordage that would be helpful. I know some users have commented that they are using coderedcms purely for the flexible form support, so that is something we plan on actively maintaining.

I deleted our fork, so can you please transfer to repository to our coderedcorp organization on github? The pypi package would be under owner codered (we also have coderedcorp squatted but publish everything under codered); although I wasn't even aware there was a pypi package!

Ah, I need to get a temporary access to create public repositories in your organisation:

In fact there is no PyPI package for it, so please register it right now :)

[BertrandBordage]

I accepted the invitation, but I'm still getting the same error :\

[vsalvino]

@BertrandBordage I think it was related to some permissions. Can you give it a try now?

[BertrandBordage]

Done! You can remove me from the organization now!

[vsalvino]

Received, thank you. I added you as a contributor to that specific repo, so feel free to continue development if you get the itch :)

Has there been any behind the scenes progress on this?
