Consider moving GoogleDoc spreadsheet into git controlled files

Hi! Thank you both. You're right that it's a good idea to preserve state in git, in case something happens to the spreadsheet. And it's also nice for someone cloning the repo to have at least a starting collection of card ideas readily available at that point.

Allowing people to add card ideas via Google spreadsheet is invaluable for reducing administrative overhead, so I'll continue that, but per your suggestion I've captured the current state of spreadsheet as CSV and added it to the repo so as to cover the two cases of 'preserving at least some data in case of Google spreadsheet issue' and 'giving users of the repo a starting point without requiring an additional Google spreadsheet step'.

Another reason that comes to mind that would necessitate strict editing only in github is preservation of an audit trail of who added what. To me, that data isn't a good trade for the time that would be spent approving pull requests.

Hopefully this mitigation addresses your concerns - please let me know!
