Problem/Motivation

We want potential implementors to be able to try out Opensocial in the most convenient way possible, whilst also giving them the option to add further drupal modules etc into the mix as they feel useful.

Proposed resolution

To create a link that fires up a new Simplytest.me site using the distributions make file and (possibly) a custom module that creates lots of useful content to see an example built site.

Remaining tasks

Understand how dependencies around composer and address work with simplytest.me
Implement a link
Implement a custom “content” module

User interface changes

none

API changes

none

Data model changes

I've been chatting with Patrickd and it looks like a change is needed in the simplytest.me code. He has pointed me at the repo and it does look possible...

And we have a working installation on Simplytest.me! While it seems for now it only works for the English language at least it's a great start!
We opened up an issue to fix it for other languages already, see: https://www.drupal.org/node/2840598

Thanks for all the help on this, everybody can try it out now at: https://simplytest.me/project/social

Bad form to reopen I know

simplytest.me is broken. I suspect that it isn't handling the composer requirements properly. It gives a long list of required modules that aren't present and because I can't add them the installation dies.
