PLANS

This document is meant to outline what we can do with this repository. Currently, this list of conferences is one of the awesome-* repositories, which are a number of repostories where information is stored solely in a README.md. However, this may not be the best way to display conferences, as each item will have multiple fields that are worth accounting for.

Here, we outline what data we would like to collect, and how we would like to ultimately view it, outside and inside of the README.md file.
