Hi Jacques, I believe it is not good to expose potential end users to something that can be expected to be broken (meaning trunk) as a demo environment, because of the high rate of development taking place in that environment.
I also believe that Jacopo said that something is in the rules, regulations and/or guidelines of the ASF about the same issue. Therefore: -1 on having trunk as demo +1 on having latest stable release as demo Given the fact that the older release branches are just maintenance releases and that we recommend that new end users should look at the latest stable release (currently 10.04.02) it would not make sense to do demos of older branches.
