This document is a brief layout of the technology underlying Mountain Workshops, specifically as pertains to the production of mountainworkshops.org. It is intended as lay of the land for all participants and staff, not just developers, but some light technical descriptions will be provided as well as links to documentation for specific software. In general, Mountain Workshops involves a lot of different interlocking components and it's important for technologists and other stakeholders to get a bird's-eye view of what those components are, how they depend on each other, and how they are sequenced along the timeline of workshop.

The focus here is on the transmission of photojournalism stories. Videos are partially accommodated by this system. Great strides were made toward full automation in 2017, but as of now there are still manual steps that need to be taken for data visualization projects.
