As the deployment of the iptel.org ser package has
increased, the number of questions being asked on the 'serusers' mailing list
have also increased, a significant proportion of them from people who are just
beginning to comprehend the usage of ser and the associated
modules.
A group of experienced ser users have decided to
help the community and are working on a 'Getting Started' document that will
detail how to deploy a working ser environment and then configure it to support
authentication, MySQL, PSTN Gateways, NAT and many other
facilities.
The same group have also noticed that creating a
common repository of files and modules that support ser is also greatly needed.
This is not a replacement of the iptel.org and cvs.berlios.de sites or the
serusers list, but an extension of their existing capability to support the
practical side of deploying ser into live environments.
It is hoped to release the first draft of this
'Getting Started' document into the community within the next few
weeks.
The community site is already now open at http://onsip.org/. Please register and
have a look!
So watch this space and we hope that the community
will appreciate this work
