 OSSP L2
 =======
 
+- thl: log facility
+  To debug an application, sometimes it's overkill to log everything at
+  DEBUG level. I see an improvement when an additional facility can be
+  specified. Example: DEBUG/LMTP but don't care about NNTP in the
+  lmtp2nntp program. Possibly could be implemented as a second mask.
+  -> needs more consideration before implementation should start (rse)
+
+- thl: buffer fork() awareness
+  When the process forks, the buffer is duplicated. Currently this means
+  the buffer has to be flushed in advance or the content is dumped twice.
+  If the buffer would remember the pid of the last writer, it could
+  discard the contents of the buffer when the pid changes. This is because
+  the parent retains the pid and the buffer content while the child
+  changes the pid and discards the content. Should be an optionial feature.
+  -> can be immediately implemented (rse)
+
+- thl: prelog
+  I want to log everything even things that happen before L2 is
+  initialized. Complicated, i know. Maybe the log function should buffer
+  everything as long as a NULL l2-context is passed and if ever a non-NULL
+  context is passed every remembered message should be logged afterwards
+  or if destroy/ flush is executed with a NULL-context it should print the
+  buffered stuff to stderr.
+  -> can be immediately implemented, but one has to be carefully here.
+     Seems like I want to think about this a little bit more in-depth. (rse)
+
 RSE:
 - channel API cleanup: open semantics
 - bind and udp parameters in socket channel
