Hi Devs -

I'd like to post this to provide transparency as a decision.

Previously the Fineract project was running a VM on ASF infra at
demo.fineract.apache.org

This is not running properly.  It has NOT been running for some time.
The DNS points to it, but there is no working instance.

I question whether it is useful and would propose now that we let go of
this instance.

We can request one in the future - and as ASF are moving to a new VM
version, the current thing cannot be maintained anyway beyond the next few
months.

Previously, the demo instance also included the Mifos Front end UI.  See
other discussion of this on the listserv.

Also as this deployment suggests a way to deploy that is not how we
would advise in our security documentation, it seems like a poor "demo"
example.

HOWEVER, we could and should provide more communication about what our
software does, including videos, better high level documentation, but
having a "demo server" that is always up seems outside of our current
priority list.

If someone believes differently, please let me know.   I will give this
another week before I make the formal infra request.

+1 if you agree
-1 if you disagree
0 if you are neutral

Thanks,
Jdailey
