+===== What is Bigorna? =====
+Bigorna is an open source project which aims to develop tools to help in general orthography migration challenges.
+It started motivated by the 1990 Portuguese Language Orthographic Agreement (**PLOA 1990**), and currently has produced an updated European Portuguese spellchecker dictionary, text converters from pre-1990 to post-1990 Brazilian and European Portuguese, a Portuguese variant classifier and a lexical comparison tool. Currently, all these tools are Unix-only.
