Yes. It should be done as a recipe with multiple steps. See
http://deployingradius.com for examples.
I think it would be a pretty common

My $0.02 is that we should use github. They now support git-backed

I quite like Markdown.
We have some internal introduction to radius and introduction to
FreeRADIUS documents.

John,
I believe Alan started a project to try and improve documentation in May last
year. A few documents were converted RST format, but I don't think it was ever
completed.
I'm going to suggest the same thing I did back then. Add RST support to the
Wiki, setup a well defined documentation

If I knew more about it I would take my time to write some ... examples, use
cases, case studies, whatever. But, I can barely get by - each time I think I
understand something it turns out I really don't. I don't want to spread bad
info so I say nothing - usually :)
IMHO a good starting

Sounds like a fine plan to me. I do recall the documentation effort from
last year. But the various promises of documentation seem to wither on
the vine, the effort you cite is a perfect example. Maybe Alan's book is
the answer, but that's been promised for a long time too.

I think it would be a pretty common deployment scenario: lots of people have
Cisco and AD, and want to auth their Cisco admins / VTY access against AD. We

I do see a theme but I also see a problem.

enough that 1 person, even one as amazing as you are, can't do it all. I

Sure. Volunteers?
