Nope.
Paul, I should be able to create an account for you if you still can't get on?
Cave_Troll said:We need to work out a template for caves as well.
take a look at http://ukcaving.com/wiki/index.php/Crematorium_Pot
Status : DIG / Part show/ part mine etc
Grid Reference : preferably done by someone going to the entrance with a GPS then linked to multimap
Entrance Photo : Entrance Photo
Access : who to call and how much they charge
Description: including photos and pitch lenghts but I'm wary of adding pitch topos as i don't want to steal trade from the regional P Hanger topos
History: description of history of exploration etc
References: where this info came from
Rigging topo : eg CCPC rigging topo to the Peak district. Edition 9 page 14
Page location : in this case "Derbyshire \ Bradwell \ Crematorium Pot" this lets you navigate back up more easily
currently can't work out how to add photos and do ref s properly
I don't think we should aim to create yet another cave registry/database or worry too much about imposing a strict format for pages. It's a wiki. People will just put up info about sites or topics they have a particular interest in, as and when they feel like it or have the time.Cave_Troll said:We need to work out a template for caves as well.
Cave_Troll said:indeed, must admit not met that before...
pick a project, any project.
One of my bugbears is the whole "my online guide is better than your online guide" arhuments
technology moves on and that site, to be frank, looks a little dated, although it seems to be functional.
who know how dated the wiki interface will look in 5 years?
Wiki or open access database: takes the onus off one person and any updates can be done by the community. Has the possibility to become a "selected caves of xxxx" as hopefully people will write up trip reports of the caves they do or digs they are involved in
you can't but if someone else does delete your data, most people probably won't flick through the history of every page in case there's somethign juicy.Peter Burgess said:Another scenario - details are posted up which may be correct, but their publication might seriously jeopardise access which has only been granted on a 'no publicity' basis. Whose responsibility is it to do something? As I understand it, you can't just delete someone else's contribution and older versions of a page remain on view.

mudman said:I think Rhys is correct in that you should try to avoid another registry. The time and work involved in setting up and maintaining it is quite considerable. I tend to think that it's better left to the various regional registrars, who are all off doing their own versions anyway.
I'd like to see a sort of caving encyclopedia with loads of articles and information on caving.
