(new) ipernity mission statement - first draft

(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."

Hi all!
This is a draft only - and it's not achievable to translate drafts into several languages. The ima team consists of volunteers only from Austria, France, Germany, Finland, UK and USA (in alphabetical order). English is our internal conference language only.
Of course everything will be translated into all languages which are supported by ipernity at the moment of official implementation!

Of course this mission statement has to be implemented into the existing website. Best plac would be here: www.ipernity.com/about/us

Hallo alle!

Über die vielen dringenden Herausforderungen, denen sich das ima-Team stellen muss, ist diese Diskussion ziemlich in den Hintergrund geraten. Auch in den nächsten Wochen wird sich daran wohl leider nichts ändern.

Aber wir bleiben dran! Und sei es mit einer Übergangslösung. Denn der bisherige Text, den man unter dem zugehörigen Link findet, geht inzwischen so sehr an der Realität vorbei, dass es fast schon peinlich ist: www.ipernity.com/about/us

Wir melden uns nächste Woche wieder zu dem Thema.

I like the overall tone of the mission statement, but have some concern about the sentiment in the very first paragraph. If I hadn't been on this site for some length of time, when I saw the order from ambitious to artists, with what I consider to be my class (casual) as last, I would be suspicious that the site isn't for me. Order is important, so I would not suggest reversing the order, but instead making it less orderly overall so that the casual user felt welcome on first glance. Similar with the order of the pictures used on the page.
