+
+    Depot is something like an ORM library in Java, but has aims that are
+    somewhat different from the popular "managed" persistence libraries like
+    Hibernate and others.
+
+    <h3>Design Goals</h3>
+
+    <ul>
+    <li><p> Eliminate (as much as possible) the use of raw SQL (or any textual
+        query language), instead providing Java classes that allow the
+        expressions of queries and updates in as concise but compile-time
+        checkable a manner as possible. </p>
+
+    <li><p> Reduce the pain of schema and data migrations as much as possible,
+        but not so much that the system used to do the migrations is too
+        complex for anyone to understand or use properly. </p>
+
+    <li><p> Use annotations to layer database metadata over the top of (almost)
+        POJOs. </p>
+
+    <li><p> Use annotations that are syntactically and semantically equivalent
+        to EJB3 persistence annotations wherever possible. </p>
+
+    <li><p> Support multiple database backends (currently MySQL and Postgresql). </p>
+
+    <li><p> Provide caching support (currently integrated with EHCache). </p>
+
+    <li><p> Keep an eye toward eventual support for sharded databases. </p>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p> I and others who have contributed to the library hope that you find it
+      useful, easy to use and time saving. Comments and contributions are
+      always welcome.
