Labs/OpenWebHomePage/Demos

It would be nice for the Open Web community to have a place to see demonstrations of the great showcases and technology usage that is out there in the wild.

The goal of the Open Web Demos site is to have a neutral ground to showcase Open Web technology.

It shares some of the ideas of Chrome Experiments (e.g. the showcase itself) but differs in a few key areas:

• The directory should be open for others to crowd source
  • Need to work out the policing model of course
• The focus isn't one browser, but rather all of the leading edge work
  • It is OK to have entries in the showcase that tell you which browsers are supported and work of course
• The "DEMO" aspect of the demos is that users can riff of of the code. The goal here is that a developer can "fork" a project, inline change the code (using say, Bespin) and save that for others to play with and riff off of.
  • A la Algorithm Ink
  • NOTE: licensing issues, and this can be version 2 :)
• Tagging: Folks can tag demos for cross pollination
  • allow voting and such too?
• Learning: We want to go into more detail on some of the demos and "feature" them by interviewing the code authors and doing code walk-throughs. The goal is that a developer can take a look at the demo and then learn how THEY can do it

What is needed?

insert flows here ----

• front end look and feel of the site
  • feel DEMO-y and smart, sleek, and cool at the same time
• way for someone to submit a demo
• way for a moderator to approve a demo

Question: Can we just use Wordpress and go from there?

What data do we need to collect?
