Author Tags, Still

[sanguinity]

So, back in February (where does the time go!? no, wait, I know: grad school) we began porting all the author tags over to Delicious: long story short, there are many, many POC authors reviewed on this comm, far more than the LJ tag system can accommodate. (I consider this a good problem to have, frankly.) Ultimately, this is only the first phase of a two-phase project: first, move author/illustrator/editor/translator tags off of LJ; second, neaten/re-organize/rethink the race/ethnicity/country tags and cross-reference them in both places (while simultaneously locking down creation of new tags to mods, so that there's some hope of them staying neatened/reorganized). In that second phase we will also likely look at the genre/subject tags again.

Anyway, re Phase I, Move Author Tags to Delicious: many volunteers stepped up, and between them, cross-referenced some 885 posts onto Delicious. Yay! Many thanks to anitabuchan, coraa, idella, kyuuketsukirui, ruke, rushthatspeaks, sumofparts, sweet_adelheid, and zeborahnz!

However, Phase I is not yet complete: as sometimes happens, not everyone was able to complete the posts they initially signed up to do, so there are still some 200+ posts that need to be cross-referenced onto Delicious.

Which means that I'm asking for volunteers again. (There may be a day in which I post about tags and do not ask for volunteers, but that day is not today.)

If you're willing to put in some time updating the delicious account, and thereby helping us finish Phase I on this project, please drop a comment here with a way for me to reach you via email, and I'll send you directions. If you don't want to leave an email address in the comments, drop it to me by private message. I'm not asking for a minimum commitment at this point: I basically just need this finished, and am asking people to sign up for whatever they're comfortable doing.

Anyone out there willing to help finish up moving the author tags to Delicious?

Yay, thank you!

You should have two emails -- let me know if you have any questions, or if they didn't come through.

[zeborah]

I can do more! zeborah at gmail.com

Oh, hooray! You know the drill; only difference is that this time you fill in your name where you want it, instead of me picking a chunk for you. Let me know if you have questions.

I'll do some. You have my email, right?

[sanguinity]

Thank you!

You should have two emails from me, each with links to the Google docs that explain what we're doing and how to sign up for specific sets of posts. Let me know if you've got questions.

Sign me up for more. I'll commit to 50 for now and see how it goes. Do you need me to resend my email?

[sanguinity]

No, I don't need your email again. Do you need me to resend you links to the docs? Only difference this time is that you should pick your own fifty: just scroll down to the yellow, and put your name in your choice of yellow cells to sign up. :-)

I'm guessing you probably still need volunteers for this. If so, I'd be willing to give it a shot and see how it goes.

Would I be able to do a test run of 25 or so? Just to get a feel for how much time it's going to take before I commit to a bigger chunk.

I think I may always need volunteers! :-)

You should have an email with instructions; please let me know if you didn't get it. And do ping me with any questions you have.
