New license for GrottoCenter

By decision of the Board of Directors of the association Wikicaves dated May 12, 2013, the license of http://www.grottocenter.org has been changed from CC-BY-NC to CC-BY-SA.



This decision was motivated by our will to:
- Allow a link with other open source projects through the use of compatible licenses
- Encourage users of data from GrottoCenter to share their work under the same license. Thus, the caving data will become gradually more accessible.

If you have added information under copyright in GrottoCenter and if you do not want this information to remain on the site under the new license, please contact us

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 .
