Old CafeTran wiki

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 Even though a lot of it is now outdated, it still contains a lot of useful information.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 Old CafeTran wiki. I currently recommend Jean Dimitriadis’ amazing ‘TheCafeTranFiles’. As well as the official resources: CafeTran Knowledge Base, and the Official CafeTran forum. |
