   ABSTRACT
 
-  The L2 library is [...]
+  OSSP L2 is a C library providing a very flexible and sophisticated
+  Unix logging facility. It is based on the model of arbitrary number
+  of channels, stacked together in a top-down data flow tree structure
+  with filtering channels in internal nodes and output channels on the
+  leave nodes. 
+  
+  Channel trees can be either constructed manually through lower-level
+  API functions or all at once with a single API function controlled by
+  a compact syntactical description of the channel tree. For generating
+  log messages a printf-style formatting engine is provided which can be
+  extended through callback functions. The data flow inside the channel
+  tree is controlled by (eight fixed and nine custom) logging message
+  severity levels which are assigned to each individual channel.
+  
+  Channels are implemented by channel handlers which can be even
+  customer supplied for creating own channels which seamlessly integrate
+  into the framework. For convinience reasons, L2 already ships with
+  pre-implemented filtering (noop, filter, prefix, buffer) and output
+  (null, fd, file, pipe, socket, syslog, smtp) channels which already
+  cover mostly all use cases of logging.
