Rachana Saushtavam (Samskrit : रचनासौष्ठवम्) refers to the adeptness (skillfulness, excellence) in composing the topics of relevance with the required academic rigour and quality of the work.
Dharmawiki compositions are essentially compilations of subject matter on particular topics. Rachana (रचना) Sausthavam (सौष्ठवम्) here refers 'not to the well being of a new creation' as there is no object of creativity in the Vedas. Numerous concepts available in the ancient texts, hardened over years by commentaries of several maharshis, have to be rightly explored and put together with reference to modern times.
Rachana Saushtavam in Dharmawiki refers to the quality goals of the narratives being compiled after Samshodhana (samyak shodhayati) or thorough examination of the original sources. It includes the many 'checks and balances' to prevent bias both in understanding the concepts and the writing (presentation) style. Articles are compiled in simple English and Hindi languages with concepts linked with references to (as many as appropriate) particular pages of primary sources (samskrit texts) directly. Readers can access these sources and verify any reference. Any new additions to the reference section may be presented in the Talk and Discussion pages of that article and the team will add them to the main article following the verification process.
Care should be taken to avoid the language used in translations of colonial times as readability is affected. Comprehensiveness of the concept as well as the article is required to ensure academic rigour, where articles are refined over time with scholarly inputs. Detailed guidelines for Dharmawiki Editors as well as Guest Authors are being placed and refined.
