Hi David, i just subscribed to the infrastructure mailing list and see if we can satisfy their request of running the demo there....then we would need a small redirect on the ofbiz.apache.org to make this happen. Do you still have the original request from Apache, i cannot find it here anymore.
The site can be maintained simply by updating ofbiz svn as we did in the early days.
