+## libimaglog
+
+A small extension over libimagdiary which strips down the functionality of
+libimagdiary to some defaults for writing a `log` (a tumbleblog like diary)
+with rather short messages.
+
+Provides only basic functionality over libimagdiary, most notably the
+"log.is_log" header entry, so the `imag-log` CLI can distinguish between
+"logs" and "diary entries".
