In the form in that we currently use it (web-based wiki called webwerkstatt) then the answer is no. However, we have a node.js integration. We are able to create and program node.js servers from inside Lively. This allows us, for example, to access the system shell, see: <a href="http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/demos/CPUVisualization.mov">http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/demos/CPUVisualization.mov</a>. Depending on how node.js is setup you can nearly access everything. E.g. with its C FFI or the system shell.<div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Robert<br><div><br><div><div><div>On Nov 26, 2011, at 2:36 AM, Ram wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">You guys are doing great work.
