Re-deploy Chopen from a new repo

[gsarma]

This is not a high priority, but worth discussing at some point.

The current repository structure was formulated around exporting all of the data from chopen.herokuapp.com so that it could be transitioned to publically available repositories which came into existence fairly recently. However, Chopen represents a significant amount of work and the infrastructure there is useful.

If someone is interested in doing it, it might be worth re-deploying the current Chopen, either in its current format or in some evolved form. It may also be of interest to the maintainers of ChannelPedia, NeuroMLDB, or one of the other neuroscience repositories.

Just out of curiosity, where is the code for Chopen stored now? Couldn't find it in this repo

@travs the old ChannelWorm has been archived: https://github.com/openworm/ChannelWorm

This could be a good first project to get back into the swing of things. I think a big consideration here is performance. The free Heroku tier was incredibly slow. If there is a way to re-deploy it in a faster configuration somewhere, that would be really great!
