Herefore the project team developed a database that also allows more efficient updates in the future. Additionally the team checked all external hyperlinks on this website, updated them when necessary and created recommendations for future updates of this website.

In the spring semester of 2013 the current project team, consisting of Christina Assl, Kaja Hubmann, Anja Mali and Lukas Robisch, converted the existing webpage to comply with up to date Typo3 coding.
