 The Tagregator settings (API keys) for each WordCamp site always need to
 be filled in by the organisers each year. My assumption is that there is
 no need to generate new keys every year and, in many cases, I'm sure this
 is something that organisers forget to do as there are so many more
 pressing things to take care of when organising a WordCamp.

 While Tagregator is perhaps a more minor feature, we could do a lot to
 improve the flow of it. There are two options here I think:

 1. Organisers generate and add their API keys for the first camp in their
 city and then subsequent years automatically copy the previous year's keys
 as the site is created.
 2. We generate API keys for each service that are linked to the WordCamp
 Central and auto-populate all future WordCamp sites with them.

 Option 1 would be a quick win (I think), but option 2 would be even better
 if we could do it. The main issue that would probably come up are the
 usage limits for each API key, so we would need to research those for each
 service before we could go with option 2.

 If we don't do any of this, then we could at least try to improve the
 oAuth flow for organisers to make this whole thing a lot simpler.
