-Wookey told me to sort out the contents.json files in expofiles/surveyscans/2018/
-and these are my notes to remind myself what this entails.
-
-The job is to populate the contents.json file in each folder, e.g.
-
-expofiles/surveyscans/2018/2018#03/contents.json
-
-using the following input materials:
-- the wallet 2018#03 and the papers inside it. This is in the 2018 lever-arch file.
-- the folder in repo 'loser' holding the appropriate .svx files e.g.
- "caves-1623/2017-cucc-24/gshclimb.svx"
-- the script expofiles/surveyscans/2018/wallets.py (run by "python wallets.py")
-
-the "wallets.py" script creates index.html files in each folder /2018/2018#nn/
-and creates or updates a webpage for each person listed in any of the contents.json files
-in the folder/2018/.
-
-The script wallets.py requires that the //loser// repo is populated on the machine that you
-run the script on so that it can find the.svx files.
-
-If your machine has the ::loser:: repo in a different place from that expected by the script, you can just
-put the path on the command line:
-
-python wallets.py "/mnt/d/CUCC-Expo/loser/"
-
-Before doing anything else, run wallets.py. This will create empty template contents.json
-files in each folder.
-
-You may need to create missing folders,e.g. I just had to create /2018/2018#30 to #32.
-
-Every time you finish entering the data in contents.json in a folder,
-run wallets.py to update the "person" html files and to
-re-generate the index.html file for the 2018 folder as
-a whole (surveyscans/2018/index.html).
-
-There are ambiguities about how the entries in the contents.json actually lead to
-reminder instructions in the html files produced, and this is particularly
-difficult for electronic caves where the topo files are missing
-and for surface prospecting where it is not clear which of the actions
-should be done and thus which products should be produced.
-
-This needs to be documented.

For prospecting and surface surveying it is not clear whether the default folder
