 <p>If you are looking for how to manage or correct cave survey data then this is not the right place. You want the 
 <a href="../computing/manual.html"><em>Data</em> Maintenance</a> manual.
 
+<p>Troggle attempts to be an exemplar of best-practice in Research Software Engineering. See
+<a href="https://society-rse.org/about/">The Society of Research Software Engineering</a> founded in 2019. See also the 
+<a href="https://www.software.ac.uk/about">the UK Software Sustainability Institute</a>.
+<p><em>"From short, thrown-together temporary scripts to solving a specific problem, through an abundance of complex 
+spreadsheets analysing collected data, to the hundreds of software engineers and millions of lines of code behind 
+international efforts such as the Large Hadron Collider and the Square Kilometre Array, there are few areas of research 
+where software does not have a fundamental role."</em>
 
 <p>This part of the handbook is intended for people maintaining the troggle <em>software</em>:
