[lively-kernel] Lively IDE Mockups

[Steve Wart]

Yes I noticed that you've done a huge amount of work. I asked about the IDE
because that is how I conceptualize the object model. Once I understand that
hopefully all the rest of it will come together for me.

One thing that Apple insists on when defining the user experience for a new
application is to come up with a clear statement of purpose. Not only what
it is its intended user base (casual, professional, etc.), but also what it
is explicitly not intended for. What *can't* Lively do?.

I've seen a couple of posts from Dan on his vision for Lively, but I still
wonder, is it an educational environment, or is it something people can use
to build commercial quality client-server applications?

Smalltalk evolved in rather unexpected ways I think. I don't think I'm
looking for Lively on Rails, but I am interested in applications that appeal
to mainstream development needs.
