# TechIRCd Enhanced Project Structure

## Current Structure Issues
- All packages use `package main` instead of proper names
- Missing comprehensive test coverage
- No CI/CD pipeline
- Limited documentation
- No deployment configurations

## Proposed Enhanced Structure

## Implementation Priority

### Phase 1: Core Structure
1. Fix package declarations
2. Add proper test files
3. Create CI/CD pipeline
4. Add linting configuration

### Phase 2: Enhanced Features
1. Create admin tools
2. Add API endpoints
3. Implement database layer
4. Add monitoring tools

### Phase 3: Production Ready
1. Add monitoring
2. Create deployment configs
3. Add security scanning
4. Performance optimization

## Benefits of This Structure

1. **Professional**: Follows Go and open-source best practices
2. **Scalable**: Easy to add new features and maintain
3. **Testable**: Comprehensive testing at all levels
4. **Deployable**: Ready for production environments
5. **Maintainable**: Clear separation of concerns
6. **Community-friendly**: Easy for contributors to understand
