Misión y Visión

Aquí afirmamos Quiénes somos, qué pensamos de nuestro trabajo, lo que puede esperar de este proyecto.

Quién está detrás de Ghini

Ghini is a small set of programs, meant to let collection managers manage their collection also digitally.

Ghini was born back in 2004 as Bauble, at the Belize Botanical Garden. It was later adapted to the needs of a few more gardens. Brett Adams, the original programmer, made this software a commons, by releasing it under a GPL license.

After years of stagnation Mario Frasca revived the project, and rebranded it as Ghini in honour of Luca Ghini, founder of the first European botanic garden and herbarium. Mario Frasca started advocating, travelling, distributing, developing, expanding, redefining, documenting it, and it is now Mario Frasca writing this, looking for users, requesting feedback.

Behind Ghini there’s not only one developer, but a small but growing global users community.

Translations are provided by volunteers who mostly stay behind the scenes, translating missing terms or sentences, and disappearing again.

Para que sea más claro cuando hablamos de Ghini, deberíamos —y lo hacemos en este documento— indicar si estamos indicando a Ghini(el software), o a Ghini(la gente), a menos que obviamente nos referimos a ambas cosas.

Misión

Our goal as Ghini Software is to provide free software, of proven quality, and to let anybody install it if they feel like it. We also aim at facilitating access to functional knowledge, in the form of documentation or by laying the contact among users or between users and software professionals.

All our sources, software and documentation, are open and free, and we welcome and stimulate people to use and to contribute. To facilitate community forming, all our platforms can be consulted without registration. Registration is obviously required if you want to contribute.

Ghini welcomes the formation of groups of users, bundling forces to define and finance further development, and we welcome developers contributing software, from any corner in the world, and we stimulate and help them comply with the high quality requirements, before we accept the contributed code in the software sources.

Visión

La visión es una afirmación, sirve para indicar el camino a seguir y proyecta una imagen futura de lo que queremos con nuestra organización, en una forma realista y atractiva. Sirve como motivación porque visualiza el desafío y la dirección de los cambios necesarios para crecer y prosperar.
