I would also like to see the documentation for using NewLinQ.
Some of our users, me included may be developing packages and will need
access to NewLinQ,
since that appears to be the preferred method to move packages to the

Although I was previously using Solarspeed method effectively, and was
simpler for my clients.
Is NewLinQ a closed, proprietary, system in our Open Source BlueOnyx
admin application.
