An even better thing to do would be to allow users to user Google Maps and/or Google Earth (or any other GIS) to allow your collaborators to geocentrically organise your maps and data. (I know that a lot of caving maps will be vertical sections, but even the section line I guess can be represented on GIS). This may help you coordinate all your maps collaboratively. You will probably need to find someone to code up the mashup of course, but there are a lot around all ready that you might be able leverage from.
