The mission is simple and durable: a child or adult who reads a "small" language should be able to read the world's shared literary inheritance in their own tongue, for free, forever. **Definition of shipped:** Public-domain works translated + published openly; adopted by communities/libraries. This is a **Hee-Lee Oss** good-deed project. Contributors pull a task, do it with their own coding agent, and open a PR.
