 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-This module attempts to simplify 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 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).
