[Bob Jolliffe <bobjolliffe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Agree completely on the single site.  I think drupal on dhis2.org could host
all of it.  I am not too worried where as long as we have ssh access.  I
suspect the demo server would have to run separately (php hosting vs java
hosting?) but that is not a real problem.

Regards
Bob
