Volunteers for GrottoCenter & FSE Partnership development

By
Dear Caving Friends,

The FSE has the pleasure to inform you that we have signed a partnership agreement with the association Wikicaves who has created the well-known site www.grottocenter.org that become "Privileged Partner" of the European Speleological Federation.
The aim is to broadcast this speleological multilingual wiki-tool (5 languages at this day) among the clubs and local caving structures allover Europe.

For this, the association Wikicaves is looking for volunteer cavers in every European country, and even outside Europe, in order to developp the following actions :
- Exchange informations on a definite area (county, regions, states or European linguistic area) (local correspondants)
- Translation of the website in other languages (at this day English, French, Spanish, German and Bulgarian)
- Web development (Integration of the different caving modules in the site)
- Data entry of specific data about European caves

If you are interested or if you know someone who might be, please send us asap an email to Grottocenter

indicating your full data (postal, email, telephone, club, etc) and the tasks for which you are motivated.
We are expecting you numerous to help developping this new FSE associated project : GrottoCenter,
Friendly Speleo wishes,

Olivier Vidal
Secr. General FSE

&
Frederic Urien
President Wikicaves
