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

&
Frederic Urien
President Wikicaves

Grottocenter datas on VMap

 Laurent Blum has set up an application to manage caves After some exchanges with the Wikicaves association, he set up a solution to visualize the data from Grottocenter. We wanted the data to remain freely accessible, for this he created a generic user that you can use  URL: https://vmapspeleo.fr/vmap/ Identifier: grottocenter Password: grottocenter

Protection of sensitive caves on Grottocenter

The UIS has just sent a letter to all the federations and to the delegates of each country to invite them to contact the Wikicaves association to set up a partnership so that we define together the data available to the federations which can be directly integrated into Grottocenter and those for which special protective measures must be taken  

Grottocenter faster

Vincent, who joined the development team a few weeks ago, has just modified the code of the two applications (Back-end which provides the data and Front-end which is the one you use) in order to optimize the data which are exchanged. The result is faster page display because less information is downloaded.       I invite you to take the opportunity to contribute .
