-ZODB, the Zope Object Database, is a fully-fledged object database system
-written in Python.  It forms part of the Zope application framework
-by Zope Corporation (previously Digital Creations).  (See port www/zope.)
+ZODB, the Zope Object Database, is a persistent object database system for
+Python.  It provides facilities to write objects to disk automatically, read
+them in again when they're required by a running program, and cache them.
 
-This port represents a third-party standalone packaging of ZODB by noted
-Python developer A.M. Kuchlin <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org> (AMK).  Official
-ZODB development is currently being managed by Pythonlabs, a division of Zope
-Corporation.  AMK's release of ZODB (and hence this port) will eventually be
-superseded by an official Pythonlabs release called StandaloneZODB.
+ZODB normally forms part of the Zope application framework by Zope
+Corporation (previously Digital Creations).  (See port www/zope.)  However,
+it has found significant application outside of Zope.
 
-AMK's ZODB package also includes a standalone version of Zope Enterprise
-Objects (ZEO), a tool to distribute ZODB stores across a network.  This port
-does NOT install ZEO.  A separate port, databases/zeo, is currently under
-development.
+This port represents StandaloneZODB, an official standalone distribution of
+ZODB by Pythonlabs, a division of Zope Corporation.  This official
+distribution is now merging with with Andrew Kuchling's third party
+standalone repackaging of ZODB that was formerly the focus of this port.
