Create a static website that makes all the iPRES conference metadata findable

[anjackson]

Use the conference and publication data to create a simple static site that makes it easier to find iPRES things.

• [x] Set up a simple site using an off-the-shelf theme.
• [x] Expose metadata for crawlers/Zotero, like this: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata#using_an_open_standard_for_exposing_metadata
• [x] Embed/link to Datasette version, explaining how that works.

Ideas:

• Considering creating a new Hugo theme based on picocss.

• Using Static Site Generators for Scholarly Publications and Open Educational Resources
• Sustainable Authorship in Plain Text using Pandoc and Markdown
• Minimal Computing

Spent a bit too much time looking at a Hugo version based on the Hextra theme, which is nice, but needs a bit more customisation to get to the point of being a decent proof of concept. I'm leaving that on the hugo branch and will focus on just using Just The Docs and Jekyll for now.

For future reference:

• https://imfing.github.io/hextra/docs/guide/organize-files/ which is a bit more automatic than Just The Docs and can cope with deeper heirarchies.
• Many configs to consider: https://github.com/imfing/hextra/blob/main/exampleSite/hugo.yaml

Added 2004 pages and added Zotero-recommended metadata, e.g. http://www.digipres.org/publications/ipres/ipres-2004/papers/File%20Format%20Features%20and%20Significant%20Properties.html can import cleanly into Zotero.

(Those filenames need slugifying)

Okay, generator code heavily revised to fix up some data issues and generate the Markdown pages: 6f2b9445b57fdc1cffa671d9474682d6d8610370

This is now pretty decent, or at least good enough for feedback. Zotero integration seems to work, the information is exposed well enough and links are all pushing back to the source repos. The abstract has also been added to the page search data so that part works too. Other fields (like author, keyword, institution, etc.) not yet added to searchable index.

Okay, those fields added now. I think that's good enough.
