Description

It seems that people often create the test issues on Redmine.org, potentially due to low discoverability of the demo site for Redmine and the identical design of both redmine.org and demo.redmine.org which is confusing.
To solve this problem, the following propositions might be the best:
1. Have a different landing page for Redmine.org (it's even better if it will be multilingual) which would look more modern, serve more of a presentation purpose and clearly point out that there is a demo site specifically for testing, then finally link to different modules of Redmine's Redmine. A great inspiration site for Redmine could be the one made for [Blender](https://www.blender.org).
2. Edit the yellow box message when submitting the new issue (see the attachment), where the first line would be the explanation with the bold and red text, urging users not to submit test issues and instead use the Demo site.

Best Regards.
