-Gearman client library for PHP.
+Gearman provides a generic application framework to farm out work to other
+machines or processes that are better suited to do the work. It allows you to do
+work in parallel, to load balance processing, and to call functions between
+languages. It can be used in a variety of applications, from high-availability
+web sites to the transport of database replication events. In other words, it is
+the nervous system for how distributed processing communicates.
+
+This package provides an interface for PHP to communicate with the Gearman
+server.
