-imag is a PIM _helper_. We do not actually implement the PIM functionality, but
-try to interface with existing PIM tools (via their API or via some standard
-format they use, e.g. vcard) to make the data they manage _linkable_
-and _queryable_ in an uniform way.
+Yes, imag is a rather ambitous project as it tries to reimplement functionality for several "personal information management aspects". It is a hobby project, keep that in mind. We try to use standards like vcard and icalendar whereever possible.
 
 imag consists of _modules_ (e.g. `imag-notes`, `imag-tag`, `imag-view`), where
 each module covers one PIM aspect.
-The initial approach is to use one PIM tool for one module.
-So you can use `imag-todo` with [taskwarrior](https://taskwarrior.org/),
-`imag-mail` with Maildirs and `imag-calendar` with
