There's an interesting Plone 3 skinning article over here, which describes how to use viewlets. More interesting to me is the discussion at the end. The general points made here are:-
Comments
- Viewlets are complex and can be a barrier to non-programmers, but are probably being used for the wrong things
- Plone 4 will have some radical changes to make stuff like this easier (but learn Plone 3 in the meantime)
- Deliverance is an alternative for skinning, may ship with Plone 4
- Rolling your own public facing skin that ignores viewlets altogether is another alternative
