[LON-CAPA-users] Anyone planning to attend the Visualization in Science Gordon Conference in July? A couple of questions about demonstrations.

Ashkenazi did the grand majority of that work.

Yes.

You currently cannot.

We have discussed this idea but it currently is not possible.

Correct.

In this case, viewing it publicly the 'New Problem Vaiarion' button
appears.

Some problem types (imageresponse, and gnuplot problems) have issues
when attempting to run in 'public' mode.
