 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-The SQLFairy project began with the idea of simplifying the task of
-converting one database create syntax to another through the use of
-Parsers (which understand the source format) and Producers (which
-understand the destination format).  The idea is that any Parser can
-be used with any Producer in the conversion process, so, if you
-wanted Postgres-to-Oracle, you would use the Postgres parser and the
-Oracle producer.  The project has since grown to include parsing
-structured data files like Excel spreadsheets and delimited text files
-and the production of various documentation aids, such as images,
-graphs, POD, and HTML descriptions of the schema, as well as automatic
-code generators through the use of Class::DBI.  Presently only the 
-definition parts of SQL are handled (CREATE, ALTER), not the 
-manipulation of data (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE).
+SQL::Translator is a group of Perl modules that converts
+vendor-specific SQL table definitions into other formats, such as
+other vendor-specific SQL, ER diagrams, documentation (POD and HTML),
+XML, and Class::DBI classes.  The main focus of SQL::Translator is
+SQL, but parsers exist for other structured data formats, including
+Excel spreadsheets and arbitrarily delimited text files.  Through the
+separation of the code into parsers and producers with an object model
+in between, it's possible to combine any parser with any producer, to
+plug in custom parsers or producers, or to manipulate the parsed data
+via the built-in object model.  Presently only the definition parts of
+SQL are handled (CREATE, ALTER), not the manipulation of data (INSERT,
+UPDATE, DELETE).
