### About the name
|
|

|
The name **mbase** was chosen as a kind of acronym for the **m**onitoring data**base** at the very beginnings of the project and the number **2** denotes all the code and database enhancements which were necessary to do to continue the project maintained. |

### About MBASE2
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the ease of development and further maintenance the **mbase2** source code is organised as (almost) independent Drupal7 module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why Drupal7? Because the project from its beginnings lives in Drupal7 and the upgrades have to function alongside the legacy code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why (almost) independent? See the answer to the _Why Drupal7_ question. There are two Drupal themes ([legacy themes](Home/Legacy-themes)) that have to be present for the mbase2 module to work - as said: the mbase2 upgrades have to live alongside with the legacy code. |
