Yes, there is no central documentation for K2.
But see it this way also......Practically there is no (very minor) web design company in Europe that would make you a website under 700 €.
So, it is not so big deal to pay 5-10 € for some commercial plugin licence you need.
Do what i do. Find all extensions and plugins at warez sites. Test them localy, tweak them to see if they suit you.
Then if you need it just buy licence befor you go "live".
I would never buy a licence for some script before i can test it.
Some thoughts, not relative to question in thread.
