Project Overview
KDE has a vast web infrastructure. Some KDE websites have not been upgraded in a long time and use dated technologies.
The first part of this project involves porting KDE's main website kde.org to Hugo - A Go based static site generator. This would allow for ease of development, faster load times and more security.
KDE websites also currently use OpenLDAP and a PHP application to authenticate and manage users (identity.kde.org). OpenLDAP is an old and complex method of authenticating and managing user identity and several modern approaches are available. Moreover many services do not support OpenLDAP authentication (Eg. discourse). One of the newer approaches is to use OAuth2. OAuth2 is a modern approach to authentication and fixes the various issues with LDAP. So, the project also involves migrating season.kde.org to OAuth and giving it a much needed visual overhaul at the same time.
