The Joomla! Forum™

The risk is that if they like the functionality (which I suspect they will) but can't handle upgrades on their own, or don't have time to complete a time consuming upgrade and check process in the future, I'll be the one they call to get it done.

What does that have to do with the demo being offline? That's the question :) My fear is that if it takes the most experienced joomla developers two weeks to install the new version and apply the same lockdowns that locked down the previous version as the demo, it may indicate that the code has so ...

Definitely understand that -- heck if I had time to finish half the things in my own to-do list I'd be much happier and richer :) I suppose I want to talk myself and others into believing Joomla is "easier" than it actually is, but it will take a real investment to come to terms with and m...

But for a small fai...

I suggested a friend look at joomla -- they asked "how come the official demos have been offline for over a week, even the clientside demo?" I don't know the answer, so I thought I'd post here and ask! Were the demos at http://demo.joomla.org/ taken offline due to resource use or some kind...
