David, et al.

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.
