Hi Jon, I am happy to report the Plone 4 Demo Site is up at http://plone-demo.sixfeetup.com/. We are soft-launching it today and will be announcing it officially next week. The Plone Demo Site features content provided by WikiHow to make it easy for visitors to play with existing content that is already formatted. It also provides a "Guided Tour" section filled with tutorials on popular features in Plone where visitors are encouraged to play with content. Since each visitor gets his/her own "guided tour" environment, they can mess it up as much as they want without impacting other users' experience. Reminder: the data in the Demo Site will be wiped clean at 3am US Eastern daily. Of course, the Plone Demo Site would not be complete without providing easy access to the basic 3 levels of administration found in Plone out of the box: - Content Contributor - Content Reviewer - Site Administrator Last, please understand this is just fresh out of our SVN and will be tested and tweaked in the coming weeks. If you find issues with the site, please email support-qEDqLqPM/hIu+VYG3/[email protected] Enjoy!
