Thanks Dan!<br><br>We need continue to nag everyone continuously until this wikipedia article is live. I know this is tedious work but it is that important. I don't want to have to nag because I'm the sort of person who believes in "doing the work". Unfortunately, I can't right now. But I will continue to nag.

I just fleshed out the introductory sections. It needs a simple picture, and a link to a stable but interesting sample page. We need to take some care that reasonable things will happen if viewed from an unsupported browser (*).</div> <div><br></div> <div>Maybe someone else could copy some of the references and a few example links.</div> <div><br></div> <div> - Dan</div> <div><br></div> <div>(*) hey, here's a use for cloud computing: If someone has an unsupported browser, they get redirected to a server in the cloud that renders LK and sends out a gif image of the screen. If the user clicks or drags on it, those events get passed back to the server which does the appropriate thing and sends out a new gif showing the updated screen region (note the canvas version has all this logic already). You get the idea... ;-)</div> </div> <br></div></div>_______________________________________________<br> lively-kernel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:lively-kernel@hpi.uni-potsdam.de" target="_blank">lively-kernel@hpi.uni-potsdam.de</a><br> <a href="http://lists.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/listinfo/lively-kernel" target="_blank">http://lists.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/listinfo/lively-kernel</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br> </blockquote></div><br>
