Description

From Decommission Demo Studio plan (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XP1v8C84Un2k8lU4wGOdldEYnklm0_ozM-UCcP4XMdM/edit#): 

Write informative message to replace submit demos form.

We talked about writing a playbook that would explain how to migrate Demo Studio demos to other platforms. Is that still the plan now that we aren't going to be hosting demos after January 15? Or are we just going to have a simpler informative message about the site being retired?

In the email announcement sent to Demo Studio submitters, we didn't have a specific "migrating your demo" playbook, but we did point to this article as an example for putting your demo on another service:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Learn/Using_Github_pages

We could use that same link in informative message.

Message will be published here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Demos_of_open_web_technologies

We'll redirect old Demo Studio / Dev Derby pages there in bug 1238037.
