@@ -11,6 +11,14 @@ Task is a command line todo list manager. It maintains a list of tasks that you
 want to do, allowing you to add/remove, and otherwise manipulate them.  Task
 has a rich list of subcommands that allow you to do various things with it.
 
+At the core, task is a list processing program. You add text and additional
+related parameters and task redisplays the information in a nice way.  It turns
+into a todo list program when you add due dates and recurrence. It turns into an
+organized todo list program when you add priorities, tags (one word descriptors),
+project groups, etc.  Task turns into an organized to do list program when you
+modify the configuration file to have the output displayed the way you want to
+see it.
