BJ This not a demo site. It is a developers site to collect Ofbiz addons and customizations that don't make it into the official Ofbiz release for one reason or another. I know of two people now who cannot post to Jira because of licensing issues. There are many other reasons. Maybe it's not "best practice" or industry specific or whatever. Maybe they don't have time to continue updating it for the latest Ofbiz release. There are dozens of reasons people feel uncomfortable offering code back.
This is just a place to let Ofbiz developers contribute back the community with no strings and little oversite. Anything that can go in Jira should go there if people want to give that a try. The intent is to provide something that is easy to use so you can steal some code or documentation to help you with your next project when it doesnt fit the Ofbiz model as well as you would like (which I expect is almost always) or it's in an industry that is not well supported. This is not part of Ofbiz although in my vision, I would hope that whatever can, would have been offered via Jira. There would be no SVN here, just tarred or zipped bits of code or documententation completely under control of the author and only vetted for malicious code. The only thing I would like to see is that if you take something, you have to give something back. Maybe you give something BEFORE you take something. There are already several demo sites around, so I think that is a little redundant. Anyway, only a dream until I have a few days to spend on it.
