There's no issue because it came to mind during our meeting.

I was thinking that it might be nice to have a demo server of Wookie 
running for this event. Participants can then upload their widgets to 
that server for the final "show and tell" session.

As far as I can tell the key functionality is there, that is we have a 
watched folder. What is needed is a file upload facility to that folder.

Given the potential for mischief we probably want to put that behind the 
admin interface.

I've created one now and will try and implement it in time for the 
training workshop (although I've actually scheduled it for 0.8.2 in case 
I don't make it in time).

Of course, anyone who fancied giving it a go is welcome to do so.
