Several years ago, Hans Lenting and I tried to create the ultimate CafeTran manual/resource (using the wikidot.com platform). ‘CafeTran Help’, was basically a volunteer-based project, with around three/four volunteers. After a few years, we gave up. Even though a lot of it is now outdated, it still contains a lot of useful information. The last version of our work is archived at [https://beijerterm.com/archives/cafetran/cafetran.wikidot.com/ '''Old CafeTran wiki'''].
I currently recommend Jean Dimitriadis’ amazing ‘[https://github.com/idimitriadis0/TheCafeTranFiles TheCafeTranFiles]’. As well as the official resources: [https://cafetran.freshdesk.com/support/home CafeTran Knowledge Base], and the [https://cafetran.freshdesk.com/support/discussions Official CafeTran forum].
