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
