Hi,
Your project is very interesting, but I'm sorry that we currently only
accept software projects or projects to produce documentation for
software. Your project is out of that scope. We know that the web interface we
use could be very helpful for projects such as Hindu Apologetics, but with our
currently limited infrastructure we have decided to concentrate in helping
only software-development projects.
