###### New project Quick Start    
To start a new project you define two files, a LightningModule and a Trainer file.    

A separate trainer file allows to run many LightningModules. Each LightningModule has the core
logic to a particular research project.    

For example, one lightningModule could be an image classifier, the other
one could be a seq-2-seq model, both (optionally) ran by the same trainer file.
