[lively-kernel] What is the Purpose of Lively?

[Philip Weaver]

The Lively Kernel is a platform for collaborative illustration of dynamic
and interactive content on a world-wide scale. This has applications in
collaborative education and learning, software development, content and
graphics creation.

How about this one instead?

The core mission for Lively probably ought to be vector illustration. People
get that.

Philip

If no one is exploring any degree of funding to help propel this project or
derivatives then that is a great tragedy.
