== Changelog ==

= 0.2 =
* Enable pitch forms, add a form to any post or page, and allow the following fields: title, description, category, tags, location, volunteer for roles 
* Pitches get saved to WordPress with post status of 'pitch' if Edit Flow is enabled, 'draft' if Edit Flow is not enabled 
* Define assignment statuses and the default status for new pitches (e.g. 'new', 'approved', 'rejected'). Refactored this to use custom taxonomy API.

* Define contributor types (e.g. 'community member', 'student') and indicate which can take an assignment. Default for new pitches is all. Refactored this to use custom taxonomy API.
* Settings page now uses the WordPress Settings API

= 0.1 =
