[lively-kernel] Report: Installing Lively Core locally from GitHub - a few issues and a question

[Fabian Bornhofen]

Hi Milan -

the main purpose of minimal_server is to run a few tests. SCB or
PartsBin Browser do not work at this point.
The reason for this is that it does not implement WebDAV (yet). It is
not that big of a deal to make some basic commands work.

A few thoughts on that:
- Thanks for pointing out that we need to make this point clear (I
guess we just assumed everybody would run LK from Apache)!
- WebDAV in the node.js server might not be something that belongs
into the core repository ...
- ... but then, that would be extremely valuable to our efforts to go
viral. People would not have to set up Apache anymore, but would use a
small node server instead. Makes sense to me :).

Best
Fabian
