4) Your portal MUST provide a demo area.
If you offer a commercial hosting solution, you must show, onto same page, both links to your commercial solution and link to a free shared online demo. Also links to your commercial solution must point to another page than the demo page and prices must appears only on this second page, not on main demo page.
40% of visitors coming home page goes then onto the demo link. So you MUST have a link to a demo. If you don't plan to provide it, just link to http://demo.dolibarr.org.
If you offer a commercial hosting solution with possible demo, you must show, onto same page, both links to your commercial solution and link to a free shared online demo http://demo.dolibarr.org if you don't have yours).

Goal is to keep a separation between OpenSource project and commercial offers. Don't think this rule will slow down your business, our experience show it is the opposite. Users don't trusts a project that start to show prices (they just do not enter into demo. Trust us, everybody wins to match this rule.

Also, the Dolibarr foundation will NOT pay for Google AdWords campaigns to promote your web site if this rule is not applied (just because we know a portal without a demo link is a waste of time).

If you don't plan to animate a dedicated social networks, add, on front page of your portal web site, links to official (english) Dolibarr social Networks. You will find list of links on page [[FAQ How to be informed on news about Dolibarr project ?]]. Using a box "Social Networks" like the one found on http://www.dolibarr.org is a good thing. If you want to animate your own local social Networks, you can replace international links with yours, but try to always keep a link at least for "Facebook", "Twitter" and "Google+" (use links for english social networks available onto dolibarr.org if you don't cover them for your language).

Some countries may need to use other social networks than occidental one (like China with Weibo or QQ).
The Dolibarr foundation will also edit the dolibarr.org portal to add link of your web site into "local communities" box.

But if you create/animate your own social networks, you must check that you are not the only owner of social network. Goal is to be sure that the network the community invest on, will not be lost if someting happen to you (we don't hope so, but we must be secured). For Facebook, Google+ you can add the account of a member of the Dolibarr board team (http://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Office_and_Board_Members#Members_of_Board). For other social Networks, you can create an account for us too and send us credential.
