All of our samples should be exemplars :-)

However: The files that you created as springboards contain generic  
data ("item 1," "item 2," etc.), very suitable for cut and paste. The  
files the the sample-code folder have more 'sample' data (for example,  
the conference planning list).

Do we want to have both kinds of samples, and just call them all  
"functional demos?"

I agree that we don't want or need a full sakai instance. I'm  
concerned that someone seeing the phrase "real-world-demos" *might*  
expect it to be a sakai instance, and I'm only wondering if we might  
want a different name. But I could just be being pedantic :-)
