Volunteers for GrottoCenter & FSE Partnership development

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

Grottocenter Mobile V2 coming soon

  Loris and Dino, 5th year students at Polytech Montpellier, decided to work on a new version of the Grottocenter Mobile application for their project. At the end of February you will be able to use it in French or English, take photos and view the documents associated with the entries, and make sketches. We also hope that they will be able to offer a version for IOS.  

Easily download all data from Grottocenter

  Vincent has just set up a service that makes it easy to download all Grottocenter data.   This takes the form of a compressed file which contains a json file per type of data (inputs, cavities, organizations, massifs, documents). The update is carried out once a month.   This service is accessible to members of the Wikicaves association and partner organizations. If you are interested in this service, do not hesitate to contact us .  

Partnership with the "CDS du Gard"

  As part of the partnership that we signed with the "CDS du Gard", Laurent Blum made data collected by Jean-Louis Galera available to Grottocenter.   A little over 1000 caves, located in Gard and in neighboring departments, have just been added to Grottocenter. Thank you for sharing.   If you also have data that you wish to share, if you are interested in a partnership with the Wikicaves association, contact us
