Sadly not, as in releasing the demo I would be revealing how its achieved to
many people. Not that its a problem, I've always planned on doing a full
release to the community, but only when i'm ready. The reason is I simply
don't have any time to field the barrage of questions that would arise. In
addition when I do release it I want to stay as involved as possible to
address issues, and maybe continue a dialog as to how it could be
standardised.
First though I want to get in place as much support material as possible and
aim for something that novices can use before going public. Producing this
takes time, which I don't have currently and releasing it prematurely could
be more of a hinderance than a help to the community at large.
Finally when developing the idea it was a collabroation with another
developer, and so we both have to be in a position that we our happy to
release the stuff publicly.
Patientance my young friends, it will come.
