<h1>Troggle - Maintenance Manuals</h1>
<p>Troggle is the software which runs the the expo cave survey data management and website. 

<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>This part of the handbook is intended for people maintaining the troggle <em>software</em>:

<li><a href="trogdjango.html">Troggle and django</a> - Upgrading to later django versions

<li><a href="trognotes.html">Programmers' guide</a> - and index to other documentation
</ul>
<p>Troggle is completely unlike any other django installation: it has a database, but the database is rebuilt from files every time it starts. 
<p>Most of the data entry into troggle happens during or just after the expedition: i.e. once a year.


><p>but do also scan 
<ul>
<li><a href="trogindex.html">Index of all troggle documents</a> - list of everything you can do with troggle.
</ul>


<p>* "Troggle eats just one very big meal a year."
