Project goals
=============

 * Maintain some EN to EN/RU/UK dictionaries.
 * Provide all data in most liberal restrictions (public domain).
 * Supply additional information about English language and tools for creating
   and maintaining dictionaries.

Target audience
===============

 * Regular users for using dictionaries and reading articles.
 * Dictionary develpers for checking dictionary building and maintaining
   techniques.

Project quality
===============

See `statistics <STAT.html>`_ on articles count for different dictionaries.

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 was born in 2009-06-28 as collection of irregular verbs which I learnt.

Articles was formatted in *Stardict TAB format*. Later project switched to much
verbose *C5 dictfmt format*.

*C5 dictfmt format* can't present markup so proprietary format developed with
writers to different other formats.
