Can someone give me some hints for how to set up a publishing project in org-mode 8?  Am I right in thinking that I can't use easy customization to set up a publish project alist?

I've been reading various links such as 

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html

and even 

http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/ox-docstrings.html and 

http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/org-element-docstrings.html

but since I'm not at all a power user I find myself rather lost.  I generally rely on the customization browsers to do most of my configuration.  I do sometimes edit .emacs manually but normally closely following an example. I'd really like to set up a project based on the worg tutorial at 

but I don't know where to begin adapting it to the new export framework.  

For example, I'd be very grateful if someone could "translate" the following (or something more simple) into org-mode 8 version, so I can start evaluating and playing with it.

Many thanks!
