<p>
Add new lines for new people, with the right number of columns.
<p>This process is tedious and error-prone and ripe for improvement especially as expo proceeds and youhave many more names to add. Adding a list of people from the bier book and their aliases (the name in brackets) would be a lot better, but some way to make sure that names match with previous years would be good.

Contrary to what you might expect we find that it is much more reliable to edit this using a text editor rather than a spreadsheet program.

<p>The nerd needs to do this:
<ol>
<li>Upload the edited copy of folk.csv to the server using the version control system.
<li>Log in to the expo server and run the update script (see below for details)
<li>Log in to the expo server and run the update script (see below)
<li>Watch any error messages scroll by.
<li>Look at the new folk list HTML file at <a href="http://expo.survex.com/folk/">http://expo.survex.com/folk/</a>
<li>Re-run the import script until you have got rid of all the import errors.
</ol>
<p>This is how you login and run the script:
<pre><code>ssh expo@expo.survex.com
cd folk
cd expoweb/folk
chmod +w index.htm
python ../scripts/make-folklist.py &lt;folk.csv &gt;index.htm
</code></pre>
<p>If there are no errors, you will just see this on your ssh session:
<pre><codeLoading expeditions
Loading personexpeditions
</code></pre>
<p>And you will see the result online at <a href="http://expo.survex.com/folk/">http://expo.survex.com/folk/</a>.
<p>If there are no errors, you will just see the prompt reappear in your ssh session
and you will see the result online at <a href="http://expo.survex.com/folk/">http://expo.survex.com/folk/</a>.
<p>It is recommended that the nerd does this locally on their own laptop first. It does not need to be an expo laptop, even a Windows 10 laptop is fine if the script is run in a WSL terminal. The only software you need to install is the default python package.
