[Jessie] OSQA won't build

[JedMeister]

It appears that there is a now a GitHub repo here which has commits from earlier this year. However I just tested building this (with a few tweaks for Jessie) and it errors. At a glance iot appears that it is because OSQA code does not support current Debian Django (v1.7)

My updated code is here, and here is the tail fo the stacktrace when I tried to build:

+ cd /var/www/osqa
+ python manage.py syncdb --all --noinput
System check identified some issues:

As per #76 OSQA does not appear to be completely dead, but it also doesn't appear to be current or under active development. Apparently there is a beta version that works but currently it does not pass TurnKey quality control. As such this issue is being closed.

If/when OSQA provide a stable release we will re-release this appliance.
