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.

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 .
