 ============
 
+This package intended for extend ZCatalog API with possiblity to
+update selected columns only. This package register 'catalog_updater'
+utility for that.
 
+For simplify usage of the utility, it extend GenericSetup's ZCatalog
+XMLAdapter handler, which allows *update* attribute usage in *column*
+tag of *catalog.xml* file.
+
+So, when you add new column to the catalog, you add catalog.xml file
+in some profile with following part:
+
+...
+<column value="new_column" />
+...
+
+This add *new_column* metadata to the portal_catalog, BUT, this
+metadata will be empty, untill you rebuild the catalog. For automate
+this step - you can add 'update="True"' attribute to the tag. And this
+lead to updte the column after adding. So result usage should be look
+like:
+
+...
+<column value="new_column" update="True" />
+...
