Major evolution of the BBS on Grottocenter

By

 

All analyzes carried out for issues 27 to 55 of the BBS were integrated into the BBS on Grottocenter, whenever possible the articles were associated with their journal and their collection.
 
Vincent has just published a very large work which constitutes version 24.0 of Grottocenter. It was made possible thanks to funding provided by the SSS

A first part consists of updating all the libraries used

The creation of documents has been moved to the entity creation menu and this is done in a single window without going through different steps

The management of details has been improved, for example the link of a document to a massif is done from the massif page

The information in the documents page has been reorganized to have a more condensed, more readable whole. The associated license is displayed and it is directly possible to view the image, PDF, sound or video files.

An important element concerns the relationship to geographical entities. Previously we associated BBS documents with BBS regions which could be countries or regions, which sometimes no longer existed. 
Now you will be able to associate documents with a country or a defined region by its ISO code. All information on the BBS regions has been transformed into the corresponding ISO code. 

Some small bugs which had been reported have been taken into account. 

Thank you very much Vincent for this very nice work

The website http://www.grottocenter.org has been really active for a few months. This message is a quick overview of the project and will explain how you can contribute. The www.grottocenter.org web application is a worldwide database community dedicated to speleology and based on the wiki collaborative system. The project aims to list natural caves ; every caver can collaborate to the database. All the data on www.grottocenter.org is under the CC-BY-NC license which guarantees free access and free usage of the data for non-commercial use with respect of the authors’ rights.

Caving expedition in Kyrgyzstan !

By
The Fund for the   Preservation and Exploration of Caves (FPEC) offer   cavers the opportunity to take part   project on caving research in almost   non-explored caves in Kyrgyzstan. In Kyrgyzstan   , the caving potential is huge. Almost all prospective regions are poorly explored or unexplored at all. Cave systems which were discovered previously require further exploration. In connection with this we think that the co-operation with colleagues from other countries with the aim to make joint researches in Kyrgyzstan may bring good results.   This year we are planning researches in the perspective regions of the Turkestan Range located in the south-west of Kyrgyzstan and associated with the Pamir-Alai Mountain system.             For the time being those regions are insufficiently explored and that provides good opportunity for the wide search of caves.    Besides, there i...
