Just an FYI: Here's how AOL has organized their AEGIS demos:

Hi Anastasia,

This would be an interesting idea as it would allow us to demonstrate multiple 
contexts to show our components can be used and different features in each.

I think each demo can be a portal in itself:
- features and description
- API documentation
- tutorials
- design considerations
- customizations: "edit code and see effects", different screen sizes, view 
just the standalone demo.

All of this reminds me of the wiki gardening we did (2 years ago now) that 
produced the Components pages on the wiki:
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Components
Ex. http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/List+Reorderer

It's good to come around full circle again and see how we can best communicate 
these things to the public. I don't think this will be a simple undertaking 
since we have a lot of information in the Wiki and other sources that will be 
cross referenced and consolidated.

Part of me thinks we should take inventory of the documentation we have 
currently and see if it can be structured better. Perhaps from this we will 
have a better idea of what to show in the demo portal (although it's becoming 
less a demo portal, and more like a components showroom).

- Jonathan.

Something else to think about when thinking about our demo portal:

Users have requested demos showing variations on the configurations, changes to 
the options, etc. ("How do I set the page size?") We should give some thought 
to how we can show the full power of our components. We could implement several 
variations of the demos, showing different settings for the options. How might 
that change the actual portal design?

Thoughts?
