Yeah live demos are hard - I'd probably avoid unless it's a proper
rehearsed launch/talk type thing (even then I'd have back up for if
live broke).

Getting stuff out early, with a demo and an easy way to clone/play
with might help get wider testing of features. Particularly for stuff
which people are going to interact with.

That's the plan going forward is to produce videos on the demos.

Live might be too hard :( but I'd be very keen to try anyway, failing
that screencasts are great, I'm a big fan.

Absolutely.

We're working out a way to do decent screencasts of new and existing features.

Would people be interested in tuning into such demos live? I
understand we have a rather wide spread of timezones here, but it
would be kind of cool if we could do live demos to our whole community
with questions over IRC.

Just a thought if you are doing end of iteration showcases, maybe
knocking up screen shots of new upcoming shinyness would be
interesting for those unable to be physically present.

We just demo'ed the Inventory Service internally this morning and it
works brilliantly - support for it will be in 2.7.0 and in Dashboard 1.0.5.
