<p>We have greatly simplified setting up separate 'development' and 'server mimic' environments on troggle development laptops, and also vastly simplified their initial configuration. This is because we are now using a new tool <a href="https://docs.astral.sh/uv/">uv</a>. This should make 'on-boarding' new programmers easier.
<p>All data entry forms which commit to any of the git repositories now has a cookie-remembered field for the name of the person doing the updating. This is stored in the git history but not otherwise within troggle.
<h4 id="feb25">February 2025</h4>
<p>We now have a user registration system for use of the website, which substitutes for, and will eventually replace, the shared 'expo' logon we have been using since about 2009. This is not tied into anything much as yet. We expect to keep using 'expo' for a year or so yet.
<p>We also have a voluntary cookie-based "who am i" identification system which ties a particular laptop/computer/browser to a person. This is intended to give us some visibility of who exactly is editing any particular cave description, survex file, handbook webpage, wallet uploads etc. etc. This will help us track down glitches and mistakes much more easily. It is now enabled on all the forms which upload or edit data online. The first time you do anything on a new personal machine, you have to type in something like:<br />
<code>"Anathema Device &lt;anathema@potatohut.expo&gt;"</code>
and it will remember who you are for two years after you last do an update. [Managing Crowley and Aziraphale, the shared expo laptops, is a work in progress.]
<p>The user registration system for people who have previously been on expo is now working. A similar registration for people who have not yet gone on expo is being developed.
