4 years ago I made a lot of progress on this today, and you can see it on the /history/ page. I did basically all of 2011, and one post in 2012.
In general, I think we should strive to do the following:
- omit notes about the venue except where notable - I kept one in saying Nerdery had moved us into their "new" theater, for example.
- include the main speaker in the title - This is nice for the list view on the history page.
- include any images posted to eventbrite - These should go in
assets/in a folder named for the year. - try not to repeat the main title - This is because it appears at the top of the page in a header already. This sometimes requires moving the description around a bit. Maybe not ideal (or even possible) in all situations. We'll see.
- hyperlink everything as it was in the original eventbrite - The main exception I've allowed for is when the link text is just the URL. I figure it's easy enough to go back in and add it later, when this is the case. I've been more or less preserving broken links. Probably not always necessary.
Eventually, I want to get all the content from Eventbrite into the site in the form of "blog posts" (tagged/categorized appropriately).
