Roger Montti interviewed Adam Zieliński, the WordPress Playground Architect at Automattic. This was my question, which got answered:
“Site builders often have one or more “starter sites”, which seem to squarely line up with blueprints, though they usually include premium themes and plugins. Drupal has “Distributions,” which are basically pre-configured starter sites often with a niche focus.
Imagine a pre-configured install of core, a theme, a membership plugin, and payment setup (waiting for gateway API keys). If you want a membership site then just install this and start adding content. Or a pre-configured help desk system and so on.
So, I’m wondering if the vision is that Blueprints will provide something similar?”

The WordPress Playground has been gaining traction and its use is expanding. I learned that you can create “blueprints” so that when a Playground instance is launched you can load demo data, plugins, and themes. Here is a central page about blueprints. It has links to a guide for creating your own blueprint as well as to a gallery of blueprints that have already been submitted.

Studio, the WordPress com’s local development environment, is now available for Mac. The Windows version is still being developed. Note that Studio uses the WordPress Playground technology and not the usual MAMP stack!

The WordPress Playground plugin demo feature is available again for plugins in the directory, but now it is opt-in. In this tutorial Joost de Valk shares a brief walk-through of how it works and how you can setup a customized demo.

This is another cool use of the WordPress playground and provides a quick way to test themes and plugins. They intend to extend it with with further options.
