CORE: Having a demo mode about docq HOT 7 CLOSED

For demo mode

• It's triggered by

  docq/source/docq/config.py

  Line 6 in 305e414

  ENV_VAR_DOCQ_DEMO = "DOCQ_DEMO"

• It should populate data for
  • A shared internal space called "Demo Shared Space"
  • A shared external space called "Demo Public Space"
  • A few documents in both the personal space and the newly created shared spaces
  • A few non-admin users

Add what data to pre-populate and how that will work, which data etc. (@cwang)

@janaka think of some scenarios where we can using these demo documents to build a story about how an org would use these features? I think this is the true purpose of having demo data.

Sure thing.

This what you were going to brain dump use case ideas you had for a blog post right?

Let's put this on-hold until we have orgs ( #44 ) i.e. multi tenant and then reevaluate if we really need this.

Idea: Once we have orgs ( #44 ) we can enable throw away orgs in demo mode.

• demo mode enabled and defaults as per above
• perma banner fix to the top displayed very clearly indicating demo mode, don't share sensitive data, will be auto wipped after X time. Exact copy TBD.
• user is prompted to end an email address only instead of login.
  • this auto creates an org based on the email address prefix
  • and a user based on the email address (as admin)
  • add default data
  • user sliding session auth from fix for #37 should work here. If an email address with an expired session is entered then reset (wipe data, recreate org, user etc.)
• have all the demo logic executed from a single place so it's dead simple to reason. We don't want if DEMO logic spaghetti all over the code base.

The above is with prospect self-service demos in mind. For sales demos that require per-prospect personalisation, would be setup in a different instance of Docq that's running in production mode.

Alt idea: rather than have a demo mode we go all the way to enable self-serve sign up (still depends on #44) which can serve all demo use cases both self serve and field sales assist. This is a more leveraged investment. But a little bit more work.
