yes, it is possible, and all the software is 100% Free Software and 
operational (it is actually in use in a factory of 250 people). but the 
software itself is not enough to complete evaluation. ERP5 is actually a 
framework which needs to be configured for each customer.

all software is published. but we have no demo application available now 
because we must first finish the current implementation at our customer.

to give you an idea, ERP5 is like an Apache server and ERP5 business 
templates are like HTML pages. We have business templates running at our 
customer but they are not ready to be published. Nexedi has its own 
business template and is going to publish it.

What I suggest at this point is to arrange an online demo of a "real world" 
site using ERP5. Nexedi can arrange that with any consultant or company 
wishing to evaluate ERP5.

In the future, we shall publish a useable demo application implemented with 
ERP5. This will be another solution. But it may just take a few more weeks 
or months.
