 ## Introduction
 
-The SMA information eXchange (SMA-X) is a high performance and versatile data sharing platform for distributed software
-systems. It is built around a central Redis database, and provides atomic access to structured data, including 
-specific branches and/or leaf nodes, with associated metadadata.
+The SMA information eXchange (SMA-X) is a high performance and versatile data sharing platform for distributed 
+software systems. It is built around a central Redis database, and provides atomic access to structured data, 
+including specific branches and/or leaf nodes, with associated metadadata. SMA-X was developed at the Submillimeter
+Array (SMA) observatory, where we use it to share real-time data among hundreds of computers and nearly a thousand
+individual programs.
 
 SMA-X consists of a set of server-side [LUA](https://lua.org/) scripts that run on [Redis](https://redis.io) (or one 
 of its forks / clones such as [Valkey](https://valkey.io) or [Dragonfly](https://dragonfly.io)); a set of libraries to 
 interface client applications; and a set of command-line tools build with them. Currently we provide client libraries 
-for C/C++ and Python 3. We may provide Java and/or Rust client libraries too in the future.

 There are no official releases of __smax-clib__ yet. An initial 1.0.0 release is expected early/mid 2025. 
 Before then the API may undergo slight changes and tweaks. Use the repository as is at your own risk for now.
