Maybe we should just commit the latest version (I assume you have the
newest), even if it's somewhat broken - that way more people could work
on it. Maybe Thomas Harte and Miran Amon even would like SVN access and
continue working on it..

I like the idea of a demos module. For distributions, e.g. upcoming
4.2.1, we could simply distribute the skater demo along with it. But I'd
actually prefer it as separate download.
About the old demos, I think there's no point putting them into SVN,
e.g. if we fix a bug in one of them, should we apply it to all? What
about the cleaning of the code, should it be applied to also the old
versions? So I say, a website is enough, they are just sort of a
curiosity item for us allegro oldtimers :)
