No sort-order defined for events / projects / resources

[reinhrst]

Events / Projects / Resources are shown as lists but no sort order is defined. This means that they are sorted by alphabet, which means that if we launch new, super cool, events, starting with a Z nobody will even encounter them on the website, because first in the lists are events that may not run anymore but have titles starting with A.

It might make sense to add a date field or something similar to events, and then sort on that (or come up with another plan).

With events, we have two cases: one-time events and recurring events. Adding date to a one-time event is no-brainer, but what should we do with recurring events?

As for projects and resources: does it make sense to list them in a chronological order? And if so, which date should be set? These are (should be at least) live documents so the date could be either original publish date or last modified date (or we could store both).

The part that is sorted alphabetically is our blog and maybe we could make use of that by updating it from time to time and linking to the recently added resources?

Now that I think of it, it may be sensible to add a status to some of the projects to show whethe rthey are in dream-mode, plan-mode, doing-mode, or finished(-ish)-mode.

I see, makes sense.

I do think it makes sense on the first page to show events that people could get enthusiastic about and then join, but I see that the details of how to do it are a bit harder. Mostly you don't want people to check the top 3 events and see that all of them were in 2018.
