+ - adjust the copyright in index-mid.html if the puzzle is by a new
    author
- - test that the binary link and the docs link work

+ - check that the new puzzle has appeared on the staging web page
+ - test both Windows binary links, the docs link, the Javascript
+   version and the Java version
  - run webupdate
