<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>Troggle attempts to be an exemplar of best-practice in Research Software Engineering. See
|
|
<a href="https://society-rse.org/about/">The Society of Research Software Engineering</a> founded in 2019. See also the
|
|
<a href="https://www.software.ac.uk/about">the UK Software Sustainability Institute</a>.

|
<p><em>"From short, thrown-together temporary scripts to solving a specific problem, through an abundance of complex
|
|
spreadsheets analysing collected data, to the hundreds of software engineers and millions of lines of code behind
|
|
international efforts such as the Large Hadron Collider and the Square Kilometre Array, there are few areas of research
|
|
where software does not have a fundamental role."</em>
|
|
|

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

<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.
