+The UCW library
+===============
 
-////
-TODO: Some general description, what the libraries are, why, etc...
-////
+The UCW library aims to provide a set general purpose tools for programming
+in the C language. It contains generic data structures (lists, trees, hash
+tables etc.), fast memory allocators optimized for various usage patterns,
+abstract I/O streams and optimized implementations of some common algorithms
+(e.g., sorting of arrays and files).
 
-You can see list of <<def_index:,definitions>>.
+Please note that this documentation is not yet complete. Many modules are
+not described, so you might need to look into the source code.
+
+You can see the index of <<def_index:,documented definitions>>.
+
+For news and incompatible changes in this version, see the <<relnotes:,Release notes>>.
