Create NumFOCUS Web Architecture Plan

[aterrel]

Goal: Create web architecture plan

Questions:

• How do we migrate old pydata static bits to hosted pretalx. (need to ask pretalx.com)
• Do we still need to use Symposion as all the cfp bits are controlled by pretalx? Should we just (re)use themes created by local pydata chapters?

Tasks:

• Outline a document (can start with google docs but prefer moving to this repo as a markdown doc)
• List out major services provided
• Create a diagram of all services
• List contacts from audit
• Create a plan for where we need to be in a year to make things easy to manage

Coming from #19 , I think it is ok to have a NumFOCUS themed pretalx for all CFPs, as most events are XYZ by NF, I don't think that will be confusing; plus this will remind people that they already have an account.

I don't think that importing data from previous pretalx accounts is worth it; it will likely get overly complicated as users have multiple accounts (which was an issue).

+1 on starting fresh with new conferences, not sure if it's worth the pain to migrate data.

+1 on reusing static themes of the main conference webpages created by many chapters of PyData groups.
