Migrating the old PHP code base from back when dinosaurs roamed the earth to something slightly more modern.

Decided I'd have a go at writing the whole website in Golang, just to see how it compared to my recent experiences with Python/Flask.

• Basic web-app written in go, deployed to a sub-domain to get CI up and running
• Identify features of website to retain
• Identify data remodelling to remove need for MySQL
• Build Home Page
• Build Vendors panel
• Build About Page
• Build Contacts Page
• Build Meetings Page
• Build Downloads Page
• Learn how to test in golang properly
  • Mocking
  • Coverage
• Redirection from old URLs needed? Download links especially I think
• Check responsiveness
• Sitespeed optimisations perhaps?
• Instrumentation into Prometheus

• Ads? Contributions?
• Tracking - probably need to capture privacy implications or get rid of this stuff
• Bit of a push towards my blog perhaps?
• Highlight that it is an archive of an old group, no longer maintained

• Home Page
  • Upcoming Events - static content that is easily updated
  • Previous Meeting - looks up most recent from DB and renders
  • What Is: config
  • Notices: config
  • Testimonials: config
  • Reading: config
• Vendors: shown in right-hand nav on most pages but not all
• Header: shown on all pages
• Footer: measures page speed
• About: simple entities in datastore
  • should build something that makes it easy to upsert the data from local store, don't need full editor any more
• Meetings: lists all meetings
  • Meeting page has metadata top and bottom with table rendered in middle
  • Bin the table view completely and just use the agenda table is streams/sessions
• Downloads: may as well move to list of Meetings rather than dropdown - old school
  • takes through to page listing all sessions per stream, with presenter and download link
• Contact: move to using my API. Has recaptcha

• Questionnaires
• Admin section
• News section - just put in config
• Pages - don't need CMS features, just have as routes
