I have been around here for 6 mo. or so and I have never seen one. There
has been a lot of discussion (flame wars) about this as the existing
docks are not well written for new users. I am still trying to get my
own site running and have been impressed with the groups helpfulness,
but the old pros are adament about doing anything about the docs. I also
think the "simple" demo catalog has way too much in it and should start
with the approach of a VERY BASIC site and allow you to get it up and
running with a few modifications, then you could work on jazzing it up
with your own additions.
