<li>create initial versions of the bierbook and the seshbook in expoweb/documents/bierbook (the final copies after expo will be scanned and put in e.g. expofiles/writeups/2020/ along with the scanned logbook).
<li>copy the contents of the previous year's expoweb/years/ folder, e.g. /2019/ to 2020/ and edit all the files therein. You should start with at least an index.html and a mission.html

<p>Edit folk/folk.csv, adding the new year to the end of the header
line, a new column, with just a comma (blank
cell) for people who weren't there, a 1 for people who were there, and
a -1 for people who were there but didn't go caving. Add new lines for
new people, with the right number of columns.</p>
<p>This proces is tedious and error-prone and ripe for improvement.
Adding a list of people, from the bier book, and their aliases would be
a lot better, but some way to make sure that names match with previous
years would be
good.</p>
<p>Edit folk/folk.csv according to the instructions in the <a href="folkupdate.html">Folk Update process</a>
