Logbook entries are currently written by editing HTML inside an HTML form that contains all the logbook entries for the year. This HTML is then parsed using RegEx (apparently) and rendered into Django objects by a parser.

Code-efficiency wise, it would be best to set up class-based views as then we can re-use generic forms for add/edit/delete pages elsewhere, increasing maintainability. See https://ccbv.co.uk/ and https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/topics/class-based-views/.

Models-wise, we already define models.logbooks.LogbookEntry so adding templates and views for add/edit/delete should be trivial.

The logbook view template will need to be updated to provide hyperlinks for these actions.

Added high priority label as this quality-of-life feature is actively dissuading non-nerds from contributing data to the set.
