I've added a section called "Documentation", and written text pointing to the various things available.  Since the largest complaint is about concepts, the first link is to the technical guide available from Network RADIUS.  I've also added links to "unlang" keywords, and to documentation for each module.

It also points to the default configuration on github, for people who want worked examples.  Many modules also include short examples in their documentation page.

However, the *detailed* documentation on unlang, modules, string expansions, debugging guides, etc. will only be on the commercial side.  As head of Network RADIUS, I'm investing not only in developing more code for the server, I'm also investing in documentation for it, too.
