Ideally, it would be great to have some design for the new informative page or pages that will explain that the Demo Studio and Dev Derby have been retired.
jms, do you create the wiki page for this? John, is a wiki page for this sufficient?

I'm happy to work on putting this page together if Janet doesn't have the bandwidth, but would appreciate input from her on messaging.
Here's the blog post I wrote: https://blog.mozilla.org/community/2015/12/18/saying-goodbye-to-demo-studio/ There is also this page, which I rediscovered after writing that post: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Demos_of_open_web_technologies I removed links to demos that don't work any more, and started added links to Demo Studio demos that have instances elsewhere. I think this would be a good start for a replacement page. (It's not as pretty, and uses headings for technologies rather than tags, but such are the limitations of a wiki.)

Yeah, a wiki page could be nice. That would make this a lot easier. A special landing page would be nice, but I'm happy to forego that unless anyone else feels strongly about a landing page.

John, what do you think about the wiki page in comment 3 as a replacement page? We could add a section/box/whatever about the history and demise of Demo Studio. I think it would minimize disruption to the user's flow: 1. Follow link for demo 2. See wiki page of demo links instead 3. Browse/search wiki page 4. Find demo that is same-as/similar-to what they were originally looking for

Yeah, that sounds great. I can help write something about the history of the Demo Studio and Dev Derby.

Marking this as resolved. This will be the landing page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Demos_of_open_web_technologies
