Conducting a demo of this kind is not something to be taken lightly.  It 
requires months of planning and practice, because it has to work flawlessly 
when its showtime.  For the demo at the DISA conference two years ago, we 
started nearly six months in advance.  At XML Europe, the folks doing the 
demo were working out late bugs the morning of the show.

Your idea to put out a call on ebXML-Dev is a good approach, although we 
may want to encourage industry groups that have business scenarios and 
payloads already developed, rather than individuals.  At the DISA 
conference we used paper industry inventory management scenarios with 
papiNet payloads (Hey, once a paper guy, always a paper guy). We may not 
need to do a screening.  We can provide the IDEAlliance contacts, and those 
parties who are interested can take it from there.
