[Fiware-tools] Catalogue Demo

[Matteo Melideo]

:-) I also shared this process and I agree with this.

What I meant is something different. I will try to explain it better.
When you enter the catalogue portal you have a page dedicated to the 
enablers. I would like to see my enablers classified as published and 
unpublished in two different columns, forms or whatever but not all on 
the same list as it is now. That's all. It is just a matter of look&feed 
rather than process.
In addition to this consider this just like an impression I had from a 
very first look.

Best

>> 4) Where can I add documentation?

>> 5) Is the menu item "Instances" for software while "download" for any

>>> - Go to _http://fi-ware.cloud.labs.ericsson.net_
