 == What openZIM is NOT ==
-* we are not going to create Wikipedia dumps or publishing own content in ZIM files
+* A publisher or distributor of content saved into the openZim format. While we will make every effort to help those wanting to this we simply do not have the resources to do it ourselves. We do keep an index of known openZim adopters at our [[ZIM_File_Archive|archive]] page.
-* we are a team of volunteers and enthusiasts, not a business
+* This project was started by the enthusiasm of [[Project_Team|volunteers]] and is mainly driven by them and not business interests.
-* we might not be able to provide you with a implementation in your favourite programming language
+* Due to the small size of the core development team we might not be ale to offer up a specific implementation of the openZim format in your chosen programming language. We hope that by publishing the [[ZIM_File_Format|spec]] more implementations can be written by the adopters of the format.
-* maybe we can not add a feature especially for you (if it doesn't fit in the openZIM goals)
+* In order to construct a format that aligns with our mission and spec the adoption of features will have to fit within the [[Mission_of_openZIM#The great Goals|goals]] of the project.
