I understand. Unfortunately, my English skills are far from needed for creating
something readable as far as documentation concerned :-( If somebody more skilled
and with Russian knowledge could do (good) translation, I'll be happy to communicate.

I'm assuming that 'accolarts.org' and 'artmetal.com' are names of sitegroups.
In this case, login info should be 'user!sitegroup'. Reason for it is that
Repligard cannot deduce sitegroup from host information like mod_midgard
because there is no host information provided when user runs Repligard.

Schema above describes fully which elements and their attributes can be used
and which of them are required.
