Hi, would you be willing to discuss the whole about section? English isn't my first language and I'll admit when it comes to my first language I'm no poet.

So the first paragraph in About is still published as:

project is continue of work begin by John Currier in 2004 and improved during the years with greate community support. You can find out more about initial project on site http://schemaspy.sourceforge.net

The second paragraph

I would like continusly improving SchemaSpy and release new version of this greate tool becouse we don't have any release since version 5.0.0 released in 2010. I'm personally believe that work on SchemaSpy should be continued and a lot of still existing issue should be resolved. I would like to say GOOD Thank you to John Currier for invent this database entity-relationship (ER) diagram generator.

Think we can condense it to:

This is the continuation of the great work started by John Currier in 2004, which can be found at SourceForge, our goal is to release fixes, enhancements and new features.

But we are still missing the actual about SchemaSpy what it is.

SchemaSpy is a database analyzer using JDBC and custom queries to produce html report with entity-relationship diagrams, xml representation of the database. It can find implied relationships based on naming and data type. Currently it requires Java 8 to run, jdbc drivers to connect to database and graphviz to create diagrams. Docker Image is available.

What do you think? Is the grammar ok, reading flow and content good?

The explanation of what SchemaSpy is should be at the top of the about page. I like my edits for the background section.
