Creating a blueprint from an existing site

[asirota]

It seems the overall workflow for using PG is to "build" a playground by assembling pieces of a site configuration and then managing that configuration in various ways in the web app. This makes a ton of sense for experimenting, testing and other useful cases.

• But what about the inverse? What if you already have a particular WordPress site already in a staging or production environment and you want to roll it into a PG? Building a blueprint to reverse engineer a site would be extremely time consuming and error prone I would think. But this is a very important use case for a whole other set of users that want to experiment with one click staging sites for example. Or demo sites of their particular WordPress "builds". Has there been any thought put into this very different use case for Playgrounds? I've send the sandbox plugin that launches a site into Playground but it seems to not work very well yet. Is there any priority here to build this use case?
