GrottoCenter Blog

Today's new feature is truly impressive. Paul has introduced an update to the rigging sheet that allows you to use predefined abbreviations to describe your recommended anchor setup. Once your rigging sheet is complete, Grottocenter displays information on the estimated rope length and the number of obstacles to be negotiated. Beyond the quality of the work itself, Paul is helping us move forward by incorporating features that will allow Grottocenter to contribute to caver safety. Let he who has never run short of rope or anchors cast the first stone.

Throughout June, the documentation team worked on a complete overhaul of the wiki to provide you with a comprehensive user guide showcasing all the new features. Chloé created two highly instructional videos that have been embedded in the wiki. Karl, Jean Donatien, Aissatou, Bernard, Constance, Chloé, and Frédéric all contributed to this work on the wiki. An English version is currently being finalized. https://wiki.grottocenter.org/wiki/GrottoCenter:Fr/User_Guide https://wiki.grottocenter.org/wiki/GrottoCenter:En/User_Guide

As of yesterday, Clément and Paul have introduced a system on Grottocenter where only copies of images are displayed. Whether you are viewing an entry or a document page, or scrolling through a gallery on mobile or desktop, you will see only copies sized specifically for display. This reduces data traffic across networks and speeds up loading times significantly, while still allowing you to download the original via a dedicated button.

Paul has released his work on the feature for creating and editing entries. Everything is better organized thanks to the visual icon guide. Mandatory fields are displayed more clearly. And the feature for creating a network or removing an entry from a network is more easily accessible. Paul is making Grottocenter accessible to everyone!

We want to better define Grottocenter users. To do this, we are outlining typical user profiles. Visitor? Explorer? Tell us who you are and whether you identify with these descriptions. https://github.com/GrottoCenter/grottocenter-api/wiki/Personas

Paul has introduced updates that make using Grottocenter easier when working with networks. First of all, quick search results no longer return document-related answers but now include networks.
