New MapServer Demo (feedback requested)

[Steve Lime]

Hi all: I've got some time to put together a new demo for MapServer and would to get feedback from
the community on what it should look like. Currently there are a number of options out there but none
of them are very comprehensive. Demos that I know about include:

  - the Itasca demo application (came out of the MUM1 meeting): http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/workshop-5.0/
  - Perry Nacionales' MapServer tutorial: http://biometry.gis.umn.edu/tutorial/
  - Mobile Geographics' MapServer Recipies: http://www.mobilegeographics.com/mapserver/
  - MN DNR MapServer Test Suite: http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/tests46/
  - Various MS4W packages: http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml 

There are of course lots of questions:

  - should a demo be installable, hosted or both
  - what data should it use
  - should it cover just MapServer configuration (e.g. mapfiles)
  - should it cover installation as well or should that be left to how-to's
  - what relationship to other packages (e.g. OpenLayers, TileCache, Ka-map) should be demo'd

Any feedback would be much appreciated.
