Umm... no not really.  I just set it up today for work with no prob. 
you just have to have a "book" file in there and change all <a>'s to
<links> and thats pretty much it.

Centipede is a bit more than just a fancy way of doing sites.  It is a
project starter template with some pretty nice stuff for separating out
ant targets and the such.  I like it.

I'm not sure why you had so much trouble.  I barely put any effort in it
at all today and got a project with complex dependencies and some doco
out in like 0 time flat.  And I don't proclaim to be a Cocoon expert or
even particularly intelligent.  :-)
