I'd like to explore the idea of creating a demo.plone.org site that hosts the current released version of Plone, and would serve as a place folks could go to try out Plone *before* downloading it. While the installers make it very easy to try out Plone, some folks are hesitant to install new software on their computer, and some IT depts forbid it.
The demo.plone.org site would have logins for a standard unprivileged user, a reviewer and an admin user. It would get cleared out every night with a fresh Data.fs. This could be done with a simple script that's executed on a scheduled basis using cron. We could use something like Amberjack [1] or Flowgram [2] to create an interactive guided tour to "hold the hand" of new users through the process of creating new content, reviewing content, administering a Plone site, etc. what do folks think about this idea? I think it would be nice to have this available to coincide with the launch of the newly redesigned plone.org website.
