+This is an SQL to OO mapper, inspired by the L<Class::DBI> framework, 
 and meant to support compability with it, while restructuring the 
-insides, and making it possible to support some new features like 
+internals and making it possible to support some new features like 
 self-joins, distinct, group bys and more.
 
+This project is still at an early stage, so the maintainers don't make
+any absolute promise that full backwards-compatibility will be supported;
+however, if we can without compromising the improvements we're trying to
+make, we will, and any non-compatible changes will merit a full justification
+on the mailing list and a CPAN developer release for people to test against.

 =head1 QUICKSTART
 
-If you're using Class::DBI, replacing
+If you're using L<Class::DBI>, and want an easy and fast way of migrating to
+DBIx::Class, take a look at L<DBIx::Class::CDBICompat>.
+
+There are two ways of using DBIx::Class, the "simple" way and the "schema" way.
+The "simple" way of using DBIx::Class needs less classes than the "schema"
+way but doesn't give you the ability to easily use different database connections.
+
+Some examples where different database connections are useful are:
+
+different users with different rights
+different databases with the same schema.
+
+=head2 Simple
+
+First you need to create a base class which all other classes will inherit from.
+See L<DBIx::Class::DB> for information on how to do this.
+
+Then you need to create a class for every table you want to use with DBIx::Class.
+See L<DBIx::Class::Table> for information on how to do this.
+
+=head2 Schema
+
+With this approach, the table classes inherit directly from DBIx::Class::Core,
+although it might be a good idea to create a "parent" class for all table
+classes that inherits from DBIx::Class::Core and adds additional methods
+needed by all table classes, e.g. reading a config file or loading auto primary
+key support.
+
+Look at L<DBIx::Class::Schema> for information on how to do this.
+
+If you need more help, check out the introduction in the 
+manual below.
