-Python package to work with files exported from EasyChair. 
-Useful to develop tools when running a conference.
+This repository contains a Python package for working with files exported from EasyChair.
+It provides ready-made functionalities to develop tools useful for organizing large-scale
+conferences.
 
-This package came to life when Ulle Endriss was a PC chair for ECAI-2024. For this role, many tools
-enhancing the functionality provided by EasyChair were needed. The tools that could benefit the
-community have been gathered there.
+This package was created when Ulle Endriss served as the PC Chair for ECAI 2024. In this role,
+many tools were needed to enhance EasyChair's functionality. The tools with potential benefit
+for the broader community have been gathered here.
+
+The files in this repository serve as building blocks for scripts used in conference management.
+We provide functions for reading and generating EasyChair files, as well as performing useful
+tasks (e.g., creating review assignments).
+
+We provide example scripts show-casing how they can be used. We have for instances scripts to:
+
+- Compute the minimum "review quota", that is, the smallest maximum number of reviews per reviewers 
+so that it is still possible to assign each paper 3 reviewers who did not bid negatively for it;
+- Form a pool of emergency reviewers, these are reviewers with versatile skills that can be used
+last minute for emergency reviews;
+- Group submissions by similarity as an intermediary step before constructing the conference schedule.
+
+The files in this repository are designed to help you kick-start the development of the scripts 
+needed for your conference!
