In order to setup an account for Google Play Store - Developer Account you will first need to create a Google account if you don't already have one, you can go here to do so. Once that is done simply sign into the Google Account and go here and follow the directions to create a developer account.
Contentful is a content management system (CMS) and is headless meaning that it can be used to define, create, and update any type of content you wish. Since Contentful allows you to freely define your data and has all the features OrgTrac and your organization will need available in a free tier we make heavy use of it in this project. All the data displayed in the OrgTrac application, and eventually your organization's application, is created and stored in Contentful

On the next screen you you will be prompted to select "How do you usually work with content?", choose Explore content modeling.
The last screen you'll be shown confirms that your example project is being prepared. You do not need to complete anything else at this time but feel free to Explore the example project if you wish to do so. This project, or space, is an example Contentful makes available and will NOT be used for OrgTrac or your organization.
