-# Generate import file
+# Generate Userlist
+# 
+# Rev 1.1, 10/22/22
+#    - changed the -y (year of enrolement) parameter to a more general -s (suffix)
+#    - updated the usage message to include that change
+#    - added a lot of comments, especially regarding the default values
+#    - removed the unused fileinput import
+#    - changed the defaults to fit more common scenarios
+# Rev 1.0, 10/20/22
+#    - a simple script to generate CSV-files suitable as input
+#      for the importUsers script.
+#    - this script is rather specifically designed to accomodate
+#      the needs of our school's user naming scheme. Different
+#      naming schemes should be easy to implement though.
+#    - the script generates default passwords by picking three
+#      words from a file called WordList.txt living in the same
+#      directory as the script file.
+#  Options
+#    -d,--domain: domain name for the email address, this is required
+#    -g,--groups: comma-separated list of groups added to every user
+#    -s,--suffix: added to every username and the resulting filename
+#     in this release, the suffix is added to the last group name as well
+#    -f,--file: file of usernames, first and last name separated by comma
