Greetings!
There is now a demo site for Midgard available, thanks to
Michael Ed and Anders Karlsson.
The idea of this new service is to enable people interested in
Midgard to experiment with the system safely without having to
install it beforehand. Midgard’s installation process is still
fairly difficult, and so this can make evaluating the system much
easier.
The server contains the normal applications contained in all
Midgard installations, the Admin and Example sites. Those two sites
have been locked down so that they cannot be modified, but the
server has been set up to operate on a range of different port
numbers (8081-8090), where a user can easily create a new virtual
Midgard site using the standard Admin Site tools.
Users can also add and modify pages for the normal hosts,
administrate content structures and design templates. Creating new
users and groups is also possible for authentication purposes, but
the default Administrator user can’t be modified.
The restrictions are in place to ensure that the normal
functions of the system are always accessible for users and
testers. The system also replaces the Midgard database with a fresh
one every 12 hours, erasing all modifications.
You can find more information from:
http://midgard-demo.marlowes.com/
The Admin Site is running at:
http://midgard-demo.marlowes.com:8101/
The Administrator account is admin/password
For those new to Midgard, reading the walkthrough for setting up
a simple Midgard site might be useful. You can find it from the
Midgard FAQ:

Enjoy!
The sponsors of this service include Roxtec International AB,
Digital Future and CityGuide Sweden. Thanks to everybody involved
for setting this wonderful service up!
