  Not true.  There's plenty of opportunity to write "how to" examples.

  Or, many people on this list are getting paid to do FreeRADIUS installs and support.  Yet the number of those willing to contribute, or pay the core team to do work is pretty much zero.

  It's documented.   <sigh>

  So the documentation is terrible, but pretty much every time people say this, the things they want documentation for are already documented.

About contributing - I'm currently making an article about a way of providing EAP-TLS Wi-Fi and EAPoL for Puppet\FreeIPA\DogTag\FreeRADIUS\Linux enterprise environment to make it possible to join together all parts of this quest. I could not find any guide for that.

  That's good.

  There is a wiki.  We made it read-only because the only changes in the last 5-10 years were spammers.
