Website structure

• ./public/assets: resources, logos, favicon -> general stuff
• ./src/data: content embedded in a page
• ./src/pages: individual subpages, routing through directories, e.g. about.
  • index.astro would lead to the about page, terms-of-reference.astro to about/terms-of-reference
  • can have both .astro or .md files, will be transformed into a page
  • ./src/pages/index.astro is home page
  • ./src/pages/404.astro is error page
• ./src/content.config.ts: describes collections for the file generation, the structure of different types of content (e.g. in ./src/data/events)

Datetime strings

For date and time information of events, we use the ISO datetime string format, which is based on GMT plus a timezone offset. This offset needs to consider daylight saving time. For example, for CET it would be a 1 hour offset (+01:00), for CEST +02:00.
