 Adminer - Database management in a single PHP file
 Adminer Editor - Data manipulation for end-users
 
-https://www.adminer.org/
+A bit of history:
+The original Adminer was created and maintained by vrana in repository vrana/adminer.
+Not being maintained for more than two years and being a daily user of Adminer, I've tried to get in touch with the original developer
+to propose my help to continue the project, but without success, I got no answer.
+I have then started to search if someone would be interested in continuing the project with me and found someone who seemed to have
+the same interest and view on the future of this project.
+I am now starting to take over the project under a slightly different name and will try to keep it compatible with all currently compatible
+database engines but also to give Adminer a new features / layout / ...
+
+Before to participate:
+Before to start developing around AdminerEvo, please read carefully the roadmap, the status of open issues, and even get in touch with us.
+It would be sad spending time/energy in development of a feature which would finally not be accepted to be part of the master project.
