<p>Troggle today has 6,400 non-comment lines of python and 2,500 non-comment lines of django HTML template code. Plus there is the integration with the in-browser HTML editor in JavaScript. Half of the python is in the parsers which will not change whatever we do. Django itself is much, much bigger and includes all the security middleware necessary in the web today.

<p><em>"the horrifying url rewrites that correspond to no files"</em> were bugs introduced by people who edited troggle without knowing what they were doing. We now have a test suite and these have all been fixed.
<p>Troggle is now packaged such that it can run entirely on a standalone laptop and re-loads from scratch in 2 minutes, not 5 hours. So if one has a microSD card with 40GB of historical scanned images and photos, it will run on any Windows or Linux laptop. Even at top camp.
