I have, what I consider, not only production but demo and test instances
on a server.
an they work so I agree.
BTW I can use the artifacts on my production so that is not a consideration.
I mean those that review the code that gets committed and have access to
the demo server.
I answer the resources in my reply to scott.
If everyone stop contributing the way they do(little or no intensive
testing, and upgrade paths), maybe I could get release stable. So I
don't see the "gifts" as that.
that is slowly being taken care of as my resources are gaining.

there is a thread on the user ML about the demo being slow.
I would think that would be a high priority for all those that commit and make
changes to ofbiz.
after all what good is all this stuff if it can't be used.
I brought down the demo trunk by accessing with seperate requests at one time,
as I stated on the user ml.
lets focus on real problems.
The real problem is: real problems according to who/what?
Don't make the mistake of thinking that problems on the demo server mean that
real-world users with production instances are having the same problems. Also,
consider that many of the features (like the WebTools -> Artifact Info stuff)
are NOT meant to be run on production systems and doing so is guaranteed to use
system resources in a wasteful way.
The main way that things get fixed is by a "real-world" user dedicating
resources to fixing things that are important to their use of the system, and if you look
at the commit logs you'll see those kinds of fixes (and/or improvements) coming in all
the time. That's what drives the project.
Scott mentioned that the demo server is under-resourced, and that is true of
hardware resources AND human resources. If not enough people care about it,
there is no means of force or incentive from the project itself to get it done.
BTW BJ, why in your message did you limit the people who should do something about this
to "all those that commit and make changes to ofbiz"? Or did you mean that more
generally, like anyone who changes OFBiz, which would include you too?
If that's not what you meant, then would you consider yourself to be in the
category of person that believes that a voluntary gift by someone obligates
them to future involuntary gifts? And what will you do if they stop giving and
your entitlements are gone?
