One of the challenges we face with the launch of OPENAssociations is how to integrate multiple applications into one solution. At the heart of this challenge is the need to make all of these applications look the same so that the end user (an association member) never knows that they are moving from one application to another.

Traditionally we do this by creating a design and then "skinning" each application to conform to the design. Usually we do a pretty good job of this and only the more observant folks can notice when they are moving from one app to another. 

But we have been looking for a better way to attack this problem.  A way that will provide a seamless user experience and less "skinning" effort.  While still early in its development, we like what we see in the new Deliverance project from the Plone community (and Nate Aune at Jazkarta).
