| - | ===Goal and Content of WikiVinaya===
| + | Right now, WikiVinaya has 3 pages of value. |
| - | The '''goal of WikiVinaya''' is to create a free and editable online resource of information on the ''Buddhist monastic discipline'' – '[[Vinaya]]'. WikiVinaya covers all the rules and related conventions relevant for [[bhikkhu]]s (Buddhist monks) and [[bhikkhuni]]s (Buddhist nuns), and the male and female lay buddhists who come into (regular) contact with buddhist monks and nuns. More specifically, this means the various Vinaya Pitakas and related commentaries and conventions. Information concerning the Vinayas of all the various [[extant Vinaya recensions]] have a place on WikiVinaya. It is hoped that this will help both contributors and readers to improve in knowledge about Vinaya.

| - | Since WikiVinaya is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki], the writing of all pages of the WikiVinaya is principally a community-effort, and the contents of these pages can be altered. Also this page, and any of the other pages. So feel free to change and add things. However, you need to [[wikivinaya:apply_for_account|apply for an account on WikiVinaya]] in order to be able to edit pages and make new pages.

| - | More information for newcomers to wikis can be found at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Welcome%2C_newcomers the welcome page for newcomers at wikipedia]. WikiVinaya is not the same as Wikipedia, but it uses the same software as Wikipedia and mostly the same ethos. The two differences in ethos are:
| + | |
| - |
| + | |
| - | *1 WikiVinaya is aimed towards creating a resource of information that is fundamentally sympathetic to the Vinaya and the ideal of the monastic Saṅgha as essential parts of Buddhist practice. Points of view that are fundamentally unsympathetic to these basic ideals may not be given a 'fair' representation.
| + | |
| - | *2 WikiVinaya may overstep the boundary of providing dry 'facts' sometimes and say something inspiring! Also, 'original research', which is not allowed in Wikipedia because it is an encyclopedia, is allowed here. However, as in Wikipedia it should always be accompanied with reasons and references; not as mere personal opinion.
