Demo databases

We have installed a few demo databases where you can login and play around. Please feel free to use them as sandbox to discover the features of refbase.

• The official refbase demo database is based on the latest stable release version (currently, refbase-0.9.5): http://demo.refbase.net/
• There's another demo database that's based on the latest SVN version: http://beta.refbase.net/
• For a multibyte-aware demo database which uses a Unicode/UTF-8 encoded MySQL database, please check out: http://refbase.textdriven.com/beta/
