ProSvet - The Russian Christian Web Portal

Welcome to the ProSvet Project site!

ProSvet.org - Christian domain.

The project has got this domain name in July 2004 and is still under development.

Main Idea

Christian web portal for both Christians and non-Christians is supposed to become alternative to the popular web resources of the world, which were build sometimes without thinking of spiritual and physical welfare.

Project building basic principles

Training Christians, as well as anyone concerned, in developing sites conforming to the Web Standards (World Wide Web Consortium specifications, like (X)HTML and CSS). Training people in developing sites conforming to the principles of structural (semantic) markup, progressive methods of design complying with accessibility and usability principles (like WCAG and Section 508). Call to subject external trick effects to the content and ease of use.

Ordinary people ministration. Real support and aid in people's needs (at the least informational).
Offline direction of development for people with no access to PC and Internet.
Free services maximum possible.
Minimal graphics and scripting load (user-friendly interface), suitable for people with disabilities and low income family budgets.
Wording simplicity (as part of accessibility).
Prepublication materials verification.
Joining up people for team-work in helping the poor, charity organizations, missions and Churches. (For example, Christian programmers can cooperate in developing free open-source operating system for non-profit organizations and individuals, who are familiar with Windows interface but can not cope with Linux command-line interface. This OS is supposed to have in-depth (at kernel level) Unicode and encoding conversion support making it easily localizable.)

The project will develop with your active assistance only!

Volunteers are needed to work unpaid (probably once-only):

Translators,
programmers,
other specialists.

Any interesting and useful materials are accepted (regardless of their temporal or religious nature), excluding those which are against Jesus Christ, the Holy Scriptures, or which create strife between nations and religions, or which promote occult and pseudo-scientific knowledge. The ProSvet Project is mostly for the Russian audience, therefore materials in Russian are of greater value to us. You can ask site administrator to make sure that your materials are acceptable.

Copyrights are appreciated. The only materials we are going to publish are those which don't violate copyright laws. You need to obtain express consent from the copyright holders prior to requesting publication of any materials. You must give me a chance to contact copyright holders directly to verify that everything is O.K.
