Instructions on editing mountainworkshops.org

On editing from edit.mountainworkshops.org

Everything that you see on the site is editable through edit.mountainworkshops.org. Some parts of the interface will benefit from some explanation. For example:

How to post a gallery (photojournalism) story?

This is probably the most complicated thing you might have to do, so it's the first and maybe only thing that we'll explain. It is unusual for someone to publish a fresh photojournalism story through the UI, since those are usually generated automatically on the last day of workshops. However there are cases, for example when a story was not ready to publish by midnight on that last day, when someone may need to publish the full story through the UI. So here are the steps:

Create a new story by clicking story on the left side of the admin panel.

Mountain Workshops Readme

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.
