Migration Process

1. Content Migration Scripts: Run migration scripts to convert Jekyll content to MDX format
2. Asset Migration: Copy and optimize images from legacy/assets/ to public/images/
3. File Migration: Copy files (CVs, PDFs) from legacy/assets/files/ to public/files/
4. Validation: Verify all content migrated correctly with proper metadata

File Naming Conventions

• Slugs: URL-friendly versions of titles (lowercase, hyphens instead of spaces)
• Images: Descriptive names with appropriate extensions
• Metadata: Consistent field names across all content types

Content Relationships

• People profiles link to their publications
• Publications link to their authors
• News posts can reference people and publications
• Cross-references maintained through consistent slug naming
