 After each expo finishes, the logbook will be permanantly stored in 
 the same HTML archive format we are currently using.

+PROBLEM
+Logbookentry has author as a foreign key defined on PersonLogbookEntry, 
+so it is not serializable in the Logbookentry object.
+
+
+Gemini has the answer:
+
+from django.http import JsonResponse, HttpResponse
+# from .models import LogbookEntry, PersonLogEntry, Person # Import your models
+from django.forms.models import model_to_dict
+from datetime import datetime
+import json
+from decimal import Decimal
