<li>The folk list and updating people present on expo, see the <a href="/handbook/computing/folkupdate.html">Folk Update process</a><p>
The folk update procedure which we have used for many decades
does not give instant feedback as to whether the editor has got it
right or not. It does not make the most recent changes visible, so a
mistake in putting someone in say 2023 instead of 2024 does not leap

The historical record is probably in error in loads of places. (It
is much better than it was now that the logbook entries and the *team
people in survex files are now checked for consistency for that expo
year.)
<p>
There are too many steps for the whole procedure and the steps get out
of sync, so it looks as if an edit has not been done when actually it
has, but the server has just not had the final script update run on it
(that, at least, could be automated).
<p>
Hand editing the folk.csv file is getting increasingly unwieldy as the
file gets bigger and bigger.

There is no automated cross-check with bank of expo, which uses a
different person-naming-scheme, and which also includes people who
actually never make it to expo in that year.

Looking through historical photo archives, there are people we
can't match up with attendees, so that indicates some errors.
