At the moment Aura is a great base template to start constructing a new FarCry website from. From the way the installer just creates a copy of Aura I assume the intended use was just a solid 'base' and not the feature filled demo some people are expecting it to be.
When I first put on FarCry I was under the impression that Aura was optional -- just a demo site you could install if you wanted to -- and FarCry was a framework that was independent. I'm sure having the 3 separate downloads doesn't help this misconception.
FarCry_aura is a sample website. It's fully functional. You can demonstrate nearly all the core compoents from this build. We use it as a "grey build" to get a prototype up and running for clients. We hope that new users to FarCry will also find it useful.
Farcry_aura is optional. We felt FarCry would make more sense to people if it simply worked when you installed it so we added FarCry_aura to the install. The community is free to develop additional templates -- these could be hosted on the farcry website as alternative for the installer.
There are not three *separate* downloads. The full installer is all anyone needs. The other downloads are sections of the code base that are versioned separately and are provided as a convenience for more advanced developers only.
