The data on this web site is stored in a MySQL database. The user interface is the content management system Drupal, chosen because of its powerful query generator 'Views' which allows for flexible reporting of the data contained here.

No knowledge of the workings of MySQL or of Drupal is necessary unless a change of structure or of output is envisaged. As of 2026 very little technical knowledge is required to keep this Drupal instance up to date, and only about an hour a month need be allocated to doing so.

About once a month a new version of Core is issued, and should be installed as soon as time allows. More frequently, but usually able to be deferred until time allows, contributed Modules and/or the Theme (Solo©) are updated by their contributors and require a simple and speedy installation process.
