Yes the web interface for uploading is very nice, I also use
the upload for restoring device configuration.

Yes the documentation is sadly lacking and the product seems to be
quite stagnant from the GoAhead support point of view.

The main problem with the documentation really is the
lack of examples. Once you have a few pages in place
it is quite simple to do.

Basically I was able to get hold of some example code and
worked the rest out from there.

I did find this wiki with some useful tips:

http://www.prolix.ro./dokuwiki/documentation:goahead
also the news server from the GoAhead website
is handy to browse.

The news server is at news.goahead.com

Hope that helps
