Hi Paulos,

thanks for your suggestions!

Although some of the points seem indeed out of the scope, I appreciate you shared your point of view.

Best regards,
Lena

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
