One question I do have is: if you launch this demo, what is there to see? Do we have enough "demo" gadgets to show a dashboard with something sensible on it that shows, for example, cassandra, auth and semantic? Anyway, we can start with creating such a package and maybe add a gadget or two later. > amdatu-release-demo? > amdatu-release-quickstart? I prefer demo. Quickstart to me implies that this is actually a setup that you should use to "quickly start developing your own stuff" where I have the feeling that the focus here lies more on demo'ing a working system so developers get an idea of how such a system is setup. If you want to help developers get started quickly, we probably need a different approach: maven archetypes to generate new projects, some form of incidating what you want, etc.. Here ACE could really help and maybe also the SeamForge stuff that Paul has been involved in.
