It is my understanding that the application process puts less initial weight on the demo than the application itself (based on the text preceding the application itself). However, Justin says that a good demo is the key to acceptance. Should a good application not come first, based on the wording of the application?<p>Jason Berlinsky

I believe the application is the more important part. But a demo can let the know that you've done more than dream. It would say that you have, at the very least, gone further than conceptualize and thought about implementation.
