To be fair to Ali and all others in his predicament, OpenSER 
documentation - as much as has been put into the effort - *is* rather 
recondite and abstruse.  It provides a lot of specification on how to 
accomplish particular tasks, but not really a whole lot of high-level 
conceptual overview or theoretical introduction to the mechanics of the 
engine, or why you would want to do various particular things.

OpenSER is wonderful, but it's one of the harder things to "get into" in 
the open-source VoIP space because its documentation is rather lopsided 
in this regard.

[And yes, I realise that such a gripe is best addressed by making a 
thoughtful and original contribution to the effort - that's why there's 
a wiki, right?]
