 =======
 
 Sort pal event files, grouping by once-only events & repeating events.
+
+Introduction:
+------------
+
+pal is a command line calendar app for linux that displays a mini calendar (for the next few weeks) and
+marks days that have events associated with them.
+
+Events are recorded in one or more plain text files with a .pal extension. These files can be edited 
+manually or using interactive mode in pal. 
+
+Problem:
+-------
+Events added in pal are appended to the bottom of the event file. After a while it becomes hard to find events
+when manually editing the .pal file. Furthermore, recuring events and once-only events become jumbled. The time
+codes make simple line sorting impractical.
+
+
+Solution:
+--------
+
+A script to group events into recurring and once only, sorting once only events
+by date, with a marker (such as an empty line or a  comment) to distinguish between past and future events.
+
+Implementation:
+--------------
+
+Either shell script or perl.
+
+Notes
+-----
+This is my first github (and git) repo, so tackling a fairly easy problem seems like a good way to ease into git[hub].
+
+I am also quite rusty in perl and an almost n00b on shell scripting.
