[geeklog-devel] Demo site option?

[Blaine Lang]

I think we may want to define what 'demo' mode is as I can see another 
mode called 'restricted' mode which could be used on a live site to lock 
it down.

Sounds like demo mode is one where you would be giving admin access to 
other users.
Restricted mode would be a case where you would not.

In Demo mode, I think users would not be installing/upgrading any 
plugins and possibly not able to even un-install or change the enabled 
status.
Suggest we create an array to hold restricted config options so that 
will allow us to extend it to disable any of the config manager options.
