All these points are correct, and you have my backing.
Krysalis Centipede is in version 0.2, and it's still growing very fast.
The docs will start to come out as soon as the structure stabilizes.
Next version coming out next week will have:
- multiple skin support (jakarta and xml.apache L&F)
- build target aliasing and description
- basic docs on how to start, and the dir layout
- gump descriptor integration with project-info
- examples jar build, along with proper, scratchpad and contrib
- new build script
- endorsed jar dir, used by both build and tools
- corrected "dist" target, with test run before jar generation
- new "testmodule" target that tests all the build
- new "gump" target
- ready for automatic site update from Gump runs

Patches are welcome ;-)
If any project wants to use Centipede in his build, we will help
them get it running, as already done with Jakarta POI,
xml-Forrest and Chaperon, and bring the benefits
of cross-project pollination to the build.
Since this topic doesn't properly belong to this list, I hope
that this brief explanation of Krysalis Centipede will be enough
to give a basic understanding of what the discussion was
about and move interested users to krysalis.org .
Thank you.
