[Zope-CMF] CMF, ZPT... confused.

[Harry Wilkinson]

For an introduction to ZPT:

I recommend you jump straight into ZPT :)

I don't know what you were expecting to see in portal_skins, but each skin 
(which you can view in the properties tab) defines a list of skin folders to 
look in during acquisition, in order.  You can add your own skins by adding 
folders and putting your own content in them, then adding a skin to the 
properties tab, or you can customise existing skins by putting your 
customisations in the custom folder.

It will all make more sense soon enough :)
