GrottoCenter Blog

Jeorg Dreybrodt led two expeditions to Malaysia in 2025 and 2026. With the members of the "Malaysia-Swiss Caving Expedition" team, they decided to license their work under CC-BY-NC-SA, and Jeorg provided us with the files so that the data could be integrated into Grottocenter. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks to Paul for implementing a new feature that allows you to search not only place names, but also entries, networks, and organizations registered in Grottocenter, and to directly access the location of the selected item.

Paul Aubertin has just joined the Grottocenter development team and is offering a fantastic new feature starting today. From a cave's page, you can preview the images corresponding to the documents associated with that cave. You can also scroll to see all the images within a single document. It's magnificent!

Clément has just published new services associated with the massifs - Now it is possible to have a massif made up of different zones, these zones can include holes - It is possible to import a file corresponding to the perimeter of the massif - The display of entries associated with the massif uses clustering (display of hexagons in areas of high density of caves) and a limit size of the massif to avoid inappropriate use of the service This system responds to a request from the NSS but also from other organizations to have massifs which correspond to areas which benefit from particular protection.

The Wikicaves team wishes you a wonderful 2026 and invites you to participate in sharing information about the underground environment. The link below will show you how you can support us. https://www.helloasso.com/associations/wikicaves

Thanks to a development by Clément, it is now possible to find out which organizations participated in the exploration of a cave. It is already possible to provide complete information about the organizations and to indicate your membership. These developments are part of an initiative to provide all the necessary information for documenting caves, enabling environmental protection while sharing information.
