Scanned notes
Scans of survey notes and drawn up surveys. Can be got via rsync.

Mercurial is a distributed revision control system. On expo this means that many people can edit and merge their changes with each other either when they can access the internet. Mercurial is over the top for scanned survey notes, which do not get modified, so they are kept as a plain directory of files.

If you run windows, you are recommended to install Tortoise Hg, which nicely interfaces with windows explorer.

The website conventions bit

This is likely to change with structural change to the site, with style changes which we expect to implement and with the method by which the info is actually stored and served up.

... and it's not written yet, either :-)
