(new) ipernity mission statement - first draft

This is a first draft only. The result of several discussions, which took place within the last weeks, but only in small groups and ima internally. Today we would like to present this draft to the whole community and to ask you for your opinion. Please feel free to note everything, which might be important from your point of view. Thank you!"

Excuse us to present it only in English. It's a lot of work to elaborate such a proposal. It would overcharge us totally, to do it in all languages, which are important for the final version. Use the translation feature please. The text is:

"Ipernity is a community of ambitious photo amateurs, professional photographers, artists, writers and casual users all around the world. It‘s web application allows the private sharing of photos, videos, audio files and blog entries with family and friends as well as the global online publishing of such contents. Within its groups it promotes the mutual inspiration and invites to direct communication, supported by a machine-aided translation feature. As it is user operated, it is independent from financial, political, religious, or other interests of third parties. The protection of users' privacy and users' content is of high value. Apart from the citation of public contents by search engines nothing will be published elsewhere. The total excellence of ipernity‘s web service with its unique pic-in-pic function may be exploited with its desktop application. ipernity is also available for iPhones and android devices with a customized feature set."
