  Too late for expo, but we now have a logbook entry creation and editing form running in a webpage.
  Hopefully this will reverse the trend in recent years for many fewer people writing up trips in the logbook and many fewer trip records in general. The whiteboard at topcamp is a wonderful thing, but it gets erased so we no longer have a callout book permanent record of trips.
    
+<h4>July 2024</h4>
+<p>During the early days of expo  a generic "edit text files online" capability was finalised. This is so that we can
+<ul>
+  <li>Edit the "cave alias" list, see <a href="/handbook/computing/newkataster.html#cavealiases">New kataster Number</a> procedure
+    <li>Edit the "<a href="/cave_data/pendingcaves.txt">pending caves</a>" list
+</ul>
+Simply append "_edit" to the end of the URL dispay the text file and you will be able to edit it.

 <h4>August 2024</h4>
  <p>The online logbook data entry (typing entries instead of writing them in longhand) has been a great success and was used intensively during the 2024 expedition. Many, many glitches were discovered and fixed during expo. James Waite still manages to crash it when nobody else does and we don't know why.
    <p>The HTML files holding the cave and entrance data and descriptions (e.g. <var>expoweb/cave_data/1623-231.html</var> and <var>expoweb/entrance_data/1623-231d.html</var> etc. ) now omit the field  for the cave identifier ('caveslug') or the entrance identifier ('slug'): these are now read directly from the filenames. This prevents pointless duplications, which always get out of step when a cave is renamed.
