use project data from submodule

Ha, I didn't realize @mbland had already done this, but I coincidentally created a branch with the same name and repeated the work. Rebased on top of his earlier commit to add instructions.

I'm not sure how the dashboard is currently deployed, but we may need to change some configuration so it pulls in the submodule.
This should also have the line:
```
	branch = master
```
Note that's a tab at the beginning!
