==About==
The Press is one project of the [[Daynal Institute]] to assist in fostering exploration of the [[spiritual]] counterpart of advancing [[material]] [[knowledge]] and temporal [[wisdom]]. As such, the scope of the Press includes work across a range of subjects in the [[Humanities]] and [[The Sciences|Sciences]] to explore the limitless range of [[facts]], [[meaning]]s, and [[values]] implicit in the question of “who are we” as [[Human being|human being]]s to have taken upon ourselves the name- [[Human|homo sapiens]] -the [[wisdom|wise]] and knowing one.
The Press is a web-integrated endeavor embracing the Internet as a primary distribution network and [[Open Source]] applications as the most effective tools for creative collaboration. Consequently, while the Press makes provision for the physical production and distribution of discrete media products in various [[text]], audio, or video formats for purchase through resellers, these resources may be found freely available in the [[Nordan Corpora]] where readers can be referred directly to related material on the [[World Wide Web]] that is a material extension of our shared endowment of [[cosmic]] [[mind]].

==Editorial==
The [[editorial]] work of the Press is conducted on a volunteer basis applying our resources to long range projects often requiring a broad scale of [[collaboration]] over many years. Nonetheless, we welcome individual projects that are consonant with the [[purpose]] of fostering a [[consciousness]] of our spiritual nature to [[illumine]] "the spiritual counterpart of advancing material knowledge."
We make our work freely available in the [[Nordan Corpora]] on the World Wide Web where it can be linked directly to any related work offered to the public via the Internet. We also utilize extensive trading relationships to facilitate commercial [[distribution]] of our physical products.
==Scriptorium==
'''The Daynal Scriptorium''' is a private workspace for discussions of [[Author]]s, [[Readers]] and [[Editors]] contributing in various ways to the '''''[[Nordan Corpora]]''''' whose articles and discussion pages are otherwise available for public review.
All volunteers work as seems appropriate to each person. Anyone interested is encouraged to apply for membership in ''The Daynal Scriptorium'' [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/forum/people.php?PostBackAction=ApplyForm here] . Your application will be reviewed, and if accepted, we will gladly welcome you.
==Marketing==
Associates of the Press possess an extensive range of [[experience]] with the marketing [[strategies]] of traditional commercial and [[academic]] publishers that rely so heavily on a [[culture]] of 'push' to force sales of unwanted product that too often is simply used for decoration and then returned. We find more sustainable the culture of 'pull' using the Internet as a primary distribution network and electronic communications as the best medium for circulating material to stimulate sales in the appropriate [[audience]]. In this way, the unique [[gravity]] of each work will define the extent to which we employ a network of publicists and sales professionals in an efficient and rewarding manner.
