Javul is a Hungarian word which means “to improve” ([[Frequently_Asked_Questions_and_Concerns#Why.2FHow_was_.27Javul.27_chosen_as_the_name_for_this_project.3F|more on the name]]). The basic idea behind the Javul project is community-based problem-solving assisted by technology with a focus on human welfare. People have been solving problems for a long time. This project’s goal is to use software and technology to bring people together and make it easier and more effective to solve problems in society of any kind. Similar to open-source software which is maintained by volunteers and subject-matter experts, Javul.org would help to create a transparent, accountable, software-driven ‘open-source society’ in which anyone can contribute. The basic idea is that the involvement of the public creates a system that is naturally transparent, has accountability built into it and allows for the best ideas and skills to be utilized, recognized and where possible, rewarded. This applies to governments as well where accountability is a huge issue with today's government systems. | Javul is a Hungarian word which means “to improve” ([[Frequently_Asked_Questions_and_Concerns#Why.2FHow_was_.27Javul.27_chosen_as_the_name_for_this_project.3F|more on the name]]).

The goal is to gradually create a society where people have the opportunity to make positive contributions to society, to help improve our existence and solve our problems and be recognized or rewarded for their work. When people have a good ‘work’ history, they can then be trusted to play roles in higher-level leadership systems that stress on accountability and transparency | The goal is to gradually create a society where people have the opportunity to make positive contributions to society, to help improve our existence and solve our problems and be recognized or rewarded for their work.

This initiative will be fully non-profit. See the [[Website Functionality]] for an overview of how the website will work. At its core its a task-management system. Many times additional functionality-specific software/websites/apps will be needed and Javul.org will help create and maintain them. | This initiative will be fully non-profit.
