Hello All, I recently discovered that creating a demo roundup instance may behave differently depending on if the user invokes `python demo.py` or `roundup-demo`, and this has the potential to cause problems. The general summary of the problem (and a bit more context behind starting this conversation) can be found at: https://github.com/roundup-tracker/roundup/pull/2#issuecomment-786433320 This raises the question, what is the "correct" way to create a demo instance? The `doc/features.txt` mentions running `python demo.py` to get "instant gratification" while `dov/installation.txt` mentions both `demo.py` and `roundup-demo`. I'm thinking we should probably standard on a canonical method for creating demo instances and update the docs accordingly. My suggestion would be to standardise on `roundup-demo` as this is really the only viable way to create a new demo instance after doing a `pip install roundup` (the alternative is to change into the `<venv>/lib/python3.X/site-packages/roundup` directory and then run `python demo.py`). Any thoughts? Cheers, John.
