Migrating CISL Visualization Gallery

[jukent]

Through talking with @MattRehme @NihanthCW @StasJ during the TDD Collaborative Github training, we thought a potential project would be to migrate the CISL Visualization Gallery from the wordpress site (https://visgallery.ucar.edu/) to the Hugo vast page.

@clyne Do you think this would be an appropriate spot to host gallery?

That sounds like a great idea!

Great news! Okay @MattRehme and @NihanthCW could you outline some of the features from the other gallery that we want to make sure exist here too?

[MattRehme]

Here's a brief outline of the current Wordpress page existing functionality:

Landing Page:

• Banner
• Text
• Thumbnails for individual visualizations, separated by major category
• Drop-down menu that filters based on tags, eg one particular video might belong in both "Climate" and "CESM Models".

Individual Pages (opens after clicking on vis thumbnail):

• Banner
• Text & links
• Thumbnail image(s)
• Filter navigation still visible

@jukent @MattRehme I think it'll be good to meet and filter the features. I'll be on travel next week. Will schedule a meeting to discuss. Thanks!

YAML document of models (thumbnail, description, tags) -- grab thumbnail from page?
Main gallery page drop down menus of checkboxes

Start with one or two entries, add them to VAST site and to a YAML document

Need gallery template (from Pythia?)

Start with myself creating simple gallery template.
