So why should they go to attic?
I did not suggest that any of the demos go to the attic, but I might not have been very clear in my wording :-) So let me put it this way: There are tons of individual sling _features_ we may want to showcase ( samples ). There should be fewer ways we want to showcase sling _applications_ ( demos ). The reasons for fewer demos are: - demos typically need to be updated to latest dependencies/slingstart to be relevant - demos are a larger investment in time - multiple demos lead to confusion - at some point in the future we might want to have _the_ reference Sling demo to point the users to That means that the bar for demos is (again, IMHO) set higher than for samples. It does not mean that any of the current demos should be outright moved to the attic, but that we should carefully consider which demos we want to keep. Thanks, Robert
