|
|
<h1>Troggle - the beginnings of a manual</h1>
|
|
<p>Troggle runs much of the the cave survey data management, presents the data on the website and manages the Expo Handbook.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Rewrite from here on...</h3>
|
|
<img border="1" class="onright" width="150px" src='tricky-troggle.jpg' alt='git logo'/></a>
|
|
<p>This troggle manual describes these:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Annual tasks: preparing for next year, finishing last year (troggle & scripts)
|
|
<li>Architectural documentation of how it all fits together & list of active scripts
|
|
<li>How to edit and maintain troggle itself. The code is public on repository <a href="../computing/repos.html">:troggle:</a>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>This page is mostly an index to other records of what troggle is and what plans have been made - but never implemented - to improve it.
|
|
|
|
Today troggle is used for only three things:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Reformatting all the visible webpages such that they have a coherent style and have a contents list at the top-left
|
|
hand corner. This is particularly true of the handbook you are reading now and the historic records of past expeditions.
|
|
<li>Publishing the "guidebook descriptions" of caves. The user who is creating a new guidebook description
|
|
can do this by filling-in some online forms. (And managing all the cave suvey data to produce this.)
|
|
|
|
<li>Providing a secondary way of editing individual pages of the handbook and historic records pages
|
|
for very quick and urgent changes.
|
|
This is the "Edit this page" capability; see <a href="../computing/onlinesystems.html#editthispage"> for
|
|
how to use it</a> and <em>how to tidy up afterwards</em>.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>[Note that /survey_scans/ is generated by troggle and is not the same thing as /expofiles/surveyscans/ at all.]
|
|
<p>Only a small part of troggle's original plan was fully implemented and deployed.
|
|
Many of the things it was intended to replace are still operating as a motley collection written by many different people in
|
|
several languages (but mostly perl and python; we won't talk about the person who likes to use OCamL).

<h3><a id="arch">Archived updates</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Since 2008 we have been keeping detailed records of all data management system updates in the version control system.
|
|
Before then we manually maintained <a href="../computing/update.html">a list of updates</a> which are now only of historical interest.
|
|
<p>A history of the expo website and software was published in Cambridge Underground 1996. A copy of this article <a href="../c21bs.html">Taking Expo Bullshit into the 21st Century</a> is archived here.
