Ticket #7251, comment 71
initial v1 7 7 > * Plugins ought to gracefully degrade in a situation where an external network or API is unavailable. (This goes beyond Playground: people test plugins locally and on staging sites; and even in prod network connectivity may be limited or lost at times) 8 8 > 9 Whilst graceful handling of missing connections and demo content may work for some, there is a subset of plugins, small that may be, that the real value of a demo is in the ability for the user to their own live content. An dexample would be say a feed from a closed system via API. For these plugins a network connection is essential to showcase in context of the user. ( disclosure, one of my plugins is such and the live demo connecting to user data is very popular when users evaluate it )9 Whilst graceful handling of missing connections and demo content may work for some, there is a subset of plugins, small that may be, that the real value of a demo is in the ability for the user to their own live content.
