RE: Help with Centipede dir structure

         I had another doubt. Is it necessary that Centipede requires a
particular default or standard directory structure to be able to run the
cents?

Sorta, it keys of the configuration in module.xml.
    Like for example, I am trying to create documentation web pages for my
project. Does the 'site' cent specifically need that there be a xdocs folder
(under documentation directory)  containing index.xml, books.xml and
tabs.xml files? Would it not run without thses and is there some way we can
specify the specific files to be picked  up for web site creation.

Yes, although like I said -- somewhat configurable.

You tried doing 'forrest seed', it ought create this directory structure for
you. If you don't have forrest, you want it for site:

    http://xml.apache.org/forrest/index.html
