Additional documentation on FRED would be very helpful.
I would like to recommend that you include material on the following:
1. Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) - registrar connections
2. Digital certiifcates in AAA
3. Logs or logging
4. fred-client
5. EPP and FRED
6. Backup and restore
That would even be moire helpful
Regards,
Paulos
