Comments.Text: Do you need it just be a stand-alone copy that people can play with and that can be refreshed once in awhile, or does it need to be synced in real time? It is possible but you will want to set up a separate installation of your website and civicrm. I have a test site/playground set up like that. Let me know. Also, are you a developer or are you training to use the CRM?
