+     "This package provides a class and subclasses for storing non-scalar
+objects in matrix entries.  This is akin to a ragged array but the raggedness
+is in the third dimension, much like a bumpy surface--hence the name.  Of
+particular interest is the @code{BumpyDataFrameMatrix}, where each entry is a
+Bioconductor data frame.  This allows us to naturally represent multivariate
+data in a format that is compatible with two-dimensional containers like the
+@code{SummarizedExperiment} and @code{MultiAssayExperiment} objects.")
