It does sound fun, but as you say everyone is quite busy. But maybe it
could be a nice diversion from all the hard work, and could be useful
too. For example I volunteer to make a nice layout system demo. I was
wanting to make one for the purposes of a layout system article
anyhow. So as they say I can kill two birds with one stone.

It might be nice to have a list of possible demo ideas, particularly
in areas where Haiku differs from BeOS (like the layout system.) Also
maybe there were areas of the OS Be never made a good demo for? Maybe
some Be demos could just be refreshed to use the Haiku coding
guidelines and maybe updated in some way.
