 \item CellDataStorage class
 
-\item MappingManifold
+\item The \texttt{MappingManifold} class provides mappings between the
+  reference cell and a mesh cell that is ``exact'' in the sense that
+  the edges, faces, and the interior of the mesh cell matches an
+  underlying manifold. This is opposed to using the usual polynomial
+  approximations of the manifold.
 
 \item Trilinos linear operators?

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
