<li><a href="trogarch.html">Troggle and database</a> architecture: how it all fits together

<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>].
</ol>
