+Project goals.
+==============
+
+ * Create and maintain good quality EN-RU dictionaries.
+ * Host some free dictionaries (to make them available to broad auditory).
+ * Provide all data in most liberal restrictions (public domain).

+   and maintaining dictionaries.
+
+Target audience.
+================
+
+ * Regular users for using dictionaries and reading articles.
+ * Dictionary develpers for checking dictionary building and maintaining
+   techniques.
+
+Project quality.
+================
+
+Currently dictionaries have very small size and less useful. You can see
+`statistics <STAT.html>`_ on articles count.
+
+I check spelling and translation of most words with old learning books and
+sometimes with free dictionaries.
+
+But *gadict-irregular-verbs-en-ru* dictionary contain mostly all irregular
+verbs.
+
+Project history.
+================
+
+Project born in 2009-06-28 as collection of irregular verbs which I learn.

+It use inconvenient for editing Stardict TAB format. Later project switched to
+much verbose C5 dictfmt format.
