Happy New Year for 2020

Hello,

We are sending you this message, first of all , to wish you a Happy New Year for 2020 and to present the new features of the latest version of Grottocenter ( under development at http://beta.grottocenter.org/ )

So what’s new this year ?

• You can now view and search the BBS data (Speleological Bibliographic Bulletin): that’s 111,134 documents available to you .

• Access to data via maps has already been available for a few months.

• The V2 coordinate conversion tool from Grottocenter has been transposed to V3.

• You can now download data in csv format

If you think the Grottocenter/Wikicaves project is worth supporting , give us a hand ;-)

We need people like you to translate, take part in development, promote the project, or enter data and information provided by our partners. Work is still underway to define the Grottocenter V3 user interface. If you wish to contribute, or simply give us some feedback , then make sure you contact us.

You may also take part and support the project by becoming a member of the Wikicaves association ( that’s a 10 € fee only ) .

Wikicaves has done some major work in the new version of Grottocenter V3 to reduce the amount personal data used. You can easily access your personal data by logging into http://www.grottocenter.org and then clicking on the “My Settings” menu.

The whole Grottocenter team (http://www.grottocenter.org) wishes you some great caving and exploring and hopes you will take the opportunity to share them with the caving community through our project.

Hola, me llamo Emilio y llevo toda la vida en esto de las cuevas.

Primero empecé en la zona centro (Cuenca, Guadalajara, Rio Lobos, etc), con el grupo Standard de Madrid y, después de un traslado por motivos laborales a León, en la zona Cantábrica, fundamentalmente, con el G.E. Matallana de León y algún grupo de Montaña, aunque implicándome muy poco en el funcionamiento de estos grupos y federaciones. Mi interés por el mundo subterráneo ha pasado del correteo por cualquier cueva que cayera a mi alcance hasta el estudio de geomorfología de las mismas, hidrogeología, acuíferos, etc Es más, estoy convencido de que los espeleólogos como colectivo podemos generar un gran caudal de información para el estudio de este mundo subterráneo, pero, en el momento actual, este conocimiento se está aprovechando de un modo muy escaso: Publicaciones escasas, memorias de campaña enviadas a las Federaciones Territoriales y a las entidades de protección de la naturaleza del Estado que parecen caer en pozos sin fondo donde no se sabe nada más de ellas, con

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 .
