 ### SUMMARY
 
-WPM was initially written as just a backup automation of WordPress installations. Overtime, it got extended to do more things, until a rewrite was necessary. Now, it does all the things... automagically.
+WPM began life, as many things do, as a simple script to automate tedium. Working nights at a managed webhosting company and datacenter, you have a bit of time. I was tired of constantly being asked to install WordPress, and I was even more tired of being asked to do really stupid things for customers regarding their WordPress installations. Naturally, the first two things that wpm did were installations and backups. Overtime, this script grew to become a truly useful tool. It makes a few assumptions based upon its place of origin, and it may not be suitable for everyone. For example, it assumes that there could be more than one site on any given machine, it assumes that you do not want the web process to have write access to the filesystem, and it assumes that your server has access to the internet for a few of its functions.
