The AIRR Tech Team keeps this web site running

This page is a continuation of, and a detailed addendum to, the

AIRR Tech Team Page

AIRR Members come and go, and although we always provide new members with an orientation to the Tech Team, a lot of information gets thrown at new folks, and not all of it sticks, so we are providing details about the AIRR Tech Team by way of a re-introduction to long-timers, and a catch-up for new members.

We gladly accept contributions of text from good writers who are not members of AIRR, who have knowledge on specific subjects. As this is a volunteer-run site, we do not pay our contributors, but they are named on our Site Credits page and on page=credits, and also share co-copyright with the AIRR site, enabling them to host their texts at their own sites or to publish them in books.

As of 2024, we can identify about 250 pages and categories in need of creation, illustration, or completion.

In addition, the Tech Team Placard Gallery should be updated regularly, if not weekly.

June 6th: Membership Renewals and Updates

June 6th is the date on which annual dues are paid. We encourage renewing members to look over their Bio and Booking pages, as well as their Navigation Box listings and Category listings at the time of renewal, so in June and July --

  • Upon receiving updates from renewing members, including new photos, rate changes, contact changes for their Bio and Booking pages, Navigation Box, and Category changes we make these changes at highest priority.
  • We create Bio and Booking pages, Navigation Box entries, and Category listings for new members, on an as-needed basis.
  • We make no site-wide changes during this period and we set aside all ongoing development projects for one month to assist renewing members.
  • If we receive updates (new photos, rate changes, contact changes, Navigation Box changes, Category changes, and new text) from members, we work on their pages.
  • We create Bio and Booking pages, Navigation Box entries, and Category listings for new members, on an as-needed basis.
  • Once the HHF site is in place, continued support is provided for updates, random checks of pages that may need corrections, or potential overlooked link-coding, handled by AIRR Tech Team trainees learning to code.

Supporting AIRR With Workshop Sales

Note: This is not a Tech Team Volunteer Project, but an AISC Board Authorized Paying Project. It is placed here for convenience only.

1. In 2023 the Bard approved paying James and Greg to create a Podia sales portal for the 30 video workshops of 20220, 2021, and 2022. Additinally, a Readers and Rootworkers page hosting the placards and "Buy" buttons was created at Hoodoo Workshops on Demand DONE

2. In 2023 the board decided to release the 10 video workshop videos from 2023 on December 1st, 2023.

3. In 2023 the Board approved paying Papa Gee to edit together as many workshops as possible from the found video of much earlier workshps in Nagasiva's possession, to be released at the rate of one per month during 2024 -- with the first one to be Dr. E.'s workshop on dolls.

4. In 2023, cat proposed more ads for the Online Workshops. The Tech Team met informally with some Board members and it was decided to add the relevant Online Workshop placards and "Buy" buttons to each participant's bio page and to each relevant category or topic page -- and that this project was to be split between Newt (Bios) and James (Categories and Pages) and this was to be a paying job at the rate of $30.00 per hour, approved by the AISC Treasurer.

For convenience:

14 new people have ads on their bios for 2023 workshops;
Jon
Art
Michaele
Cat
ConjureMan
Nikki
JayDee
Deborah
Roy
Robin
Heidi
Murphy
James
Lukianos

10 new category / page have ads for 2023 workshops:
Spititualism (Jon)
Money/Business (Art)
Spell Casting (Michaele)
Astrology (cat)
Love (Panel)
Baths and Waters (Robin)
Herbs and Roots (Heidi)
Spell-Casting (Murphy)
Altar Work (James)
Talismans (Lukianos)

Application Revision and Update

The application to join AIRR has not kept up with the changing structure of formatted member pages and needs to be revised to facilitate that transmutation.

Long-Term Site-Building Projects

  • Updates for Member Pages. If we receive updates (new photos, rate changes, contact changes, Navigation Box changes, Category changes, and new text) from members, we work on their pages.
  • New Member Bio and Booking Pages. We create Bio and Booking pages, Navigation Box entries, and Category listings for new members, on an as-needed basis.
  • Expansion of AIRR's Educational Web Site. We develop long term "build-out" projects by organizing new topics, upgrading site-wide code, and developing new categories of information to which we assign writers. This is our major expansion phase each year. Our goal is to host 1,001 categories and pages on divination and folk-magic.

Expansion of AIRR's Educational Web Site

Some of our ongoing build-outs and hoped-for texts include:

Photo-Cropping and Naming Standardization Project

This project is under the direction of Papa Newt, Reverend James, and Nagasiva Yronwode

We need standard-sized 300px x 400px head shots of every AIRR member. We will also institute a new standard naming convention. These will be substituted on ALL bio pages and on the all outreach pages.

  • Meet the Members of AIRR pics are currently 200 px x 250 px cropped: swap in new 300px x 400px portraits at 200px wide as they are completed.

OLD, NOT CURRENT Supporting the Hoodoo Heritage Festival

From January until June we are working on the Hoodoo Heritage Festival project:

  • We work on the coming year's HHF site, including text, illustrations, and the development of the affiliated ticketing site. AISC Board members also use this meeting time to discuss proposed workshops that have been presented by AIRR members and others, and to assign editors to presenters who will be preparing written material for their workshops. AIRR Tech Team members who are not board members function as general membership representatives in these discussions, as we work toward consensus on HHF planning matters.

Outreach Pages Needing Image Standardization

In this group, pics are currently 150 px wide and height floats; swap in new 300px x 400px portraits at 150px wide as they are completed.

The following outreach pages await creation:

As-Yet-Unstarted Categories and Pages

Regarding AIRR and the AISC

  • Category:AIRR Tech Team. Recycle content from AIRR Tech Team page into a category with member avatars and data, ala the podcasters page, then remake all site links and delete the old page. This will then need to be added to the "Outreach" template and to the bio page of each member of the cat.
  • Category:The Churches of the AISC. We need a category hub to introduce the actual churches in the AISC with a link and read-more list to the individual pages for those in the directory.
  • Category:Clergy. Add a category, define clergy, and make short sub-heads defining each religio-cultural type of clergy (Rabbis, Priests, Ministers, Bhikkus, Gurus, Imams, Muftis, etc.), then host a navbox listing and linking all AIRR members who are clergy of one type or another.
  • Category:Crystal Silence League Recycle content from Crystal Silence League page into a category with CSL Pastor member avatars and data, ala the podcasters page, then remake all site links and delete the old page. This will then need to be added to the "Outreach" template and to the bio page of each member of the cat.

In World-Wide Folk-Magic

  • Category:The Evil Eye. A subsidiary cat to which AIRR members may be attached via text and navbox. We need a lead writer for this section! May use a pick-up from 2021 HHF pdf by Miss cat Dr. Jeremy Weiss with permission and credit.
  • Category:Religious Holidays. We already have the Pagan and Neo-Pagan holiday set called the Wheel of the Year. We need holiday sets for Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, and other religious traditions. Images would generally be a greeting card plus a photo (See Wheel of the Year sub-pages for format); text would be brief and include historical and contemporary information. We need a lead writer for this section!
  • Category:Temple Oracles. A cat that will include topics such as the Oracle of Delphi, sand diviners of the Chinese temples of the goddess Xiwangmu, or Taoist monks consulting Tien Chung or Chi Chi sticks. We need a lead writer for this section!

How *NOT* to Contact the AIRR Tech Team

Sending private request messages to one or more AIRR Tech Team members with requests for updates and changes may delay your requests from being implemented. Remember...

  • Not all members attend every meeting, and the person you selected may be busy or on vacation at the next meeting.
  • You may have reached a member who has not yet been trained on how to do the the specific task you want done.
  • If you send multiple messages, you may cause members to overlap or do redundant work in an attempt to help you outside of AIRR Tech Team Meeting times.
  • The member you reached may be working on a different site-wide project and may not remember to pass your message on to the Team,

Always Contact the Tech Team Via the AIRR Forum

Your request will be handled as a Team task.

And Remember: You Are Invited!

All AIRR members are invited to attend any and all AIRR Tech Team meetings, to join in fellowship, to help the organization, or simply to effect specific changes on their own Bio and Booking pages and to their Navigation Box and Category listings.

Attending AIRR Tech Team meetings does not require that you join the AIRR Tech Team for training or to engage in any further volunteer work. You may attend as a social participant, if you wish, with no tasks other than proofreading finished pages and making suggestions.

We meet every Tuesday at 10:30 AM Pacific Time via Zoom. Meetings generally last 2 hours, but when we get very involved in a project, we may keep going for up to 4 hours. Members may drop in or leave at any time during any meeting.

To receive a Zoom invitation to the next meeting, contact nagasiva yronwode, the AIRR Corresponding secretary. He will add you to the "call list," sending you a Facebook message with the Zoom meeting ID and passcode.

Thanks for reading this ... and thanks for being a member of AIRR.
