Mark Reign from Epic games Inc. today made a interesting post on the official UT2003 forum about the upcoming demo. Here it is:

Demo should be ready this week

Hi Folks,

The demo is nearly ready to go. It should be out sometime within the next few days. Keep watching this space (the stickies) for an announcement. When it's ready we'll just be releasing it randomly to a few major sites so that hopefully it will spread like wildfire and everyone will be able to get it from their favorite games site. There won't be any special exclusives or anything like that. We want everyone to be enjoying it the minute it goes live.

More details to follow, keep watching this space.

Update: The forum is now updated with following news from Mark Reign.. I'm expecting the demo to be out sooner than 5 days but things have a way of cropping up and biting us in the ass so you never know. It could be as early as tomorrow or as late as the weekend but I'm pretty confident that it's this week.

The people over at Unreal Admin Page tossed up an interview with Epic Games Joe "DrSin" Wilcox about some UT2003 Server only questions. Here is a clip:

Shaggy: Can we have an in game graphical interface to set admin/game options fitted as standard - I find the command line stuff too slow and easily screwed up so it would be nice if I didn't have to wait around for ages until some nice person wrote a mod for it.?

DrSin: Yes, but probably not until the first patch. Michel Comeau (DarkByte) is doing it once all the default in-game menus are done. He also wrote the new web admin system so I would expect it to follow the functionality fairly closely.
