<h1>Troggle - Maintenance Manuals</h1>
<p>Troggle is the software which runs the the expo cave survey data management and website.
<p>This part of the handbook is intended for people maintaining the troggle software:
<ul>
<li><a href="../computing/newyear.html">Annual tasks</a>: preparing for next year, finishing last year.
<li><a href="../computing/regular.html">Regular tasks</a>: housekeeping as surveys are digitised.
<li><a href="otherscripts.html">Other scripts</a> - photos, folk, wallets - not integral parts of troggle.
<li><a href="trogarch.html">Troggle and database</a> architecture: how it all fits together
<li><a href="trogdesign.html">Design decisions</a>: e.g. new systems for <a href="menudesign.html">website menus</a>
<li><a href="trogdocm.html">Maintain troggle</a> itself. The code is public on repository <a href="http://expo.survex.com/repositories/">:troggle:</a>
<li><a href="trognotes.html">Uncategorised notes</a> and past speculations
</ul>
<h3 id="troggle">Troggle - why we developed it</a></h3>
<p>Troggle..
<ol>
<li>Coherently publishes expo data by cave, by expedition, by person, by trip or by survey - without requiring duplicate data entry.
<li>Manages and safely archives the typed and scanned survey data, entrance data, trip records (logbooks) and expo records.
<li>Enforces consistency - making it easier to detect mistakes and omissions
<li>Publishes the "guidebook descriptions" of caves by a combination of online forms and uploading files.
<li>Supports the process of turning scribbled notes into finished cave surveys
<li>Generates prospecting guides so that we don't waste time looking at holes which have already been explored
<li>Reformats the webpages such that they have a coherent style and have a small menu at the top-left
hand corner. These are the handbook you are reading now and the historic records of past expeditions.
<li>Provides a way of editing individual pages of the handbook
for very quick and urgent changes.
[This is the "Edit this page" capability; see <a href="../computing/manual.html#editthispage"> for
how to use it</a> and <em>how to tidy up afterwards</em>].
