Connect to the GeneWeb process using a standard web browser using the following:

http://localhost:2317/base http://127.0.0.1:2317/base http://address:2317/base http://address:port/base

where "base" is the name of the database file.

GeneWeb is coded in the functional language Objective CAML, and can be extended with byte-code or compiled code written in that language.

The primary documentation of gwd is in the HTML , documentation, which you can find in the documentation directory (/usr/share/doc/geneweb on Debian systems).
