[OH-Dev] [issue915] XSS issue in project name field

New submission from brittag <brittag at gmail.com>:

Putting a special string into the project name field causes a Javascript popup, which it really 
shouldn't. Here's the string: ""><img src=x onerror=prompt(1);>

Here's a demonstration by the reporter: http://openhatch.org/people/pik4chu/ - and I also 
reproduced it myself.

This seems very related to the problem at https://openhatch.org/bugs/issue875 - which was also 
about project names not being escaped properly.
