 +==== About This Guide ====
 +<note important>
 +This guide is work in progress. The guide was originally conceived as the 
 +reference manual for SER 2.0 and it is currently being transformed
 +into the reference manual for the SIP Router.
 +</note>
  
 +SIP Express Router is a free, extensible, powerful, heavy-duty SIP server. SER
 +gets typically deployed at large-scale and complex SIP server setups where
 +other solutions fail. The server features efficient, elegant, and small core,
 +powerful and flexible configuration language capable of doing things to SIP
 +messages beyond imagination. Vast collection of extension modules provides
 +additional features that can be loaded only when needed, helping to maintain
 +the server neat, clean, and sane.  SER's elegant design together with an
 +efficient, extensible, and easy to integrate data model make it an ideal
 +sofware for large or complicated SIP setups on most platforms.
 +
 +This reference manual attempts to describe all subsystems, parts, extension
 +modules, functions, parameters, and features of SER and its configuration
 +language. It is terse but the reference manual attempts to be complete. For a
 +shorter and easier to read introduction to SER 2.0 read the
 +[[admin_guide|Administrator's Guide]].
