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).
 * 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.
================

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.
