 I don't think the certificate warning is a major issue and we can easily 
 explain in the user list just in case someone will complain... instead of 
 cluttering the web site with unnecessary information (with some formatting 
 issues).

we can publish the links together with all the information we need to explain

Your proposition makes sense Hans. I already suggested that 5 years ago 
http://markmail.org/message/jtrovomwpqrl4xan
And I even made a request to infra: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-2849
I have used StartSSL since for my own needs and it works quite well.
But it's maybe not a money issue, rather that the infra team does not want to 
handle it... yearly...



You can discuss the way it is shown.



If someone wants to remove it, let's go. But the SSL certificate issues will 
remain...

What makes look us unprofessional is not to have a SSL certificate. It's easy 
to forget once you have accepted the exceptions (trunk, stable, old).
Maybe the ASF and infra team policies in this regard is because we are a kind 
of an exception. I don't know if any other TLP has also demos like us?

In general, I would prefer to discuss and fix real issues rather than trying to imagine what they could be. Following the same pattern, in the

I don't see any relation with wiki pages here (which I agree could be better if all committers would make their duty), but yes having a SSL 
certificate(s?) there would be better in my opinion.



I don't see much cluttering adding this sentence.


The sentence:

"you can trust certificates"

doesn't mean anything and when you see it in the right bar menu it looks a bit weird (especially for users that don't click on the demo links and 
don't see the certificate warning); the OFBiz web site should be kept as clean as possible.




Yes the sentence should rather say "Please accept exceptions for SSL certificates if 
you get to the backend demos" but I found it a bit too long.
I agree that the OFBiz web site should be kept as clean as possible, so should 
be the demos.


What are the formatting issues? I did not create a CSS class to center the 
sentence, is that the problem?


Does it look right to you? That sentence is not aligned with the demo links and 
it is difficult to understand it referred to them.


I just centered it above the demo sections to make it clear it was related.
