Public demos on main page ofbiz.

[BJ Freeman]

Could be that we need two demos
one for the Trunk and one for the Ver 4.0 which is the most stable
release we have.
Since the Trunk, is susceptible to breakage,  and the Clients will not
get what they see in the trunk in the ver 4.0 release Would it not be
more advisable to have the default Demo ver 4.0?

[Jacques Le Roux]

This sounds like a good idea. I have still an old demo server (a bit outdated but...). I updated Ubuntu 6.06 2 weeks ago and since
it runs anymore (I have no screen, only thru VNC). I will get it to reboot and it could be used for one or the other. I will have
also to put Apache in front using mod_proxy_ajp to allow 443 and 80 ports.

Of course, if someone has something better than a Dell Optiplex GX1 bought in 2000 (Pentium III 500Mhz, 384 MB RAM, Seagate
Barraccuda de 6Go.)... feel free...

Have many boxes that can be  used, once I find a way to hook them back

The demo is for a first look before taking the time to download OFBiz,
not for client evaluations.  Your probably better off sitting a laptop
in front of your client with 4.0 loaded.

I'd probably rather see it stay with the trunk since there are always new things going that shouldn't be going into the 4.0 release branch.  I'm open for talking about hosting another one of these as well, but I doubt that you'd run into that many times where there are issues like we've had over the past little bit.

Cheers,

Tim

Scott,

You don't have always your client in front of you (in my case it's even rare). And I found often myself having to run release4.0 and
trunk simultaneously. I have enough version loaded on with differents set of ports my dev.machine to do that. But I find the idea of
having 2 demo servers available worlwide attractive.

Remote demos is my case 90% of the time. I also send them to the demo
and they come back with it  did not work.
this is my concern about having a dynamic demo (trunk) that represents ofiz.

The connection has timed out
The server at lamouline.myvnc.com is taking too long to respond.
