<p>My new boss went to a speech where Deliverance, a kind of proxy allowing to add skin to any html output on the fly, was presented. He decided to use it right after that, no matter how young it is.</p>

<p>In theory, the system sounds great when you want a newbie to tweak your plone theme without having to teach him all the complex mechanisms behind the zope products. And apply the same theme on a Drupal web site in one row.</p>

<p>But I don't believe in theory, and would like to know if anybody tried this out in the real world :-)</p>

I will start answering this question here while we perform tests but I'd love to have feedback from other users.
Install
We have spent a small afternoon from tuto to "how to" to finally install and run the thing on a virtual machine.
This one is ok :
http://www.openplans.org/projects/deliverance/getting-started
There are setuptools packages but this does not works out of the box (and certainly not without compiling anything). We had to install :
setuptools >= 0.6c5 (tested with 0.6c9 from
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/
).
of course, compilation implies installing gcc, linux-header et lib6-dev
libxslt in dev (we used libxslt1-dev)
linking with zl so zlib (we used zlib1g-dev)
you'd better install Pastescript BEFORE starting the Deliverance install
installing python-nose is not mandatory but it helps to check if everything went fine
We did not manage to make it works with python-virtualenv to we definitly messed up the debian system but it seems to run ok.
Hope it can help.
