+This is all timer core related documentation. It is split into two
+sections. The first will provide all information for people who simply want
+to use timers. The second contains all information which are required by
+developers who want to dive deeper into the concepts and implementation of
+the timer infrastructure.
+
+The documentation should cover all files, which are located below
+kernel/timers/ and also the timer related includes.
