BASE 2 demo server

We have set up a ​BASE 2 demo server for those of you who want a sneak preview of the next major release of BASE. Data in this server is migrated from the current ​BASE 1 demo server. Users with access to the BASE 1 demo server can use their login information on the new BASE 2 demo server. For people without any account information we have added a user base2 with password base2 (valid on both servers). The base2 user has read privileges to all data on the demo server.
