First off, wrap your text to < 80 chars.
Analog cannot possibly be expected to document every web server out
there. If you are running a web server, you should be familiar with
how it run, including how it logs. Analog lists example for a couple
dozen web servers. This is much more than I would expect.

Then help the "cause" and write documentation. Analog is written by a
developer (duh!), not a writer. I'm able to grok what I need out of
it, but sometimes it takes some investigation. Projects like these,
ie. free ones, usually need better docs, however, the developers are
rarely the "best" choice for this job as they are too intimate with
the product and "know" how it's supposed to work, and/or they just
aren't good writers.
That being said, the docs are pretty good, just very technical.
