Hi Milan,

I think all your assumptions are correct:

Lively Webwerkstatt is one instance of a Lively Wiki, where the main Lively Kernel 2 
development took place. It contains the JavaScript files based core, some additonal modules
distributed in apps, projects, and the user directories. There are also some private pages for example
the "hpi" directory. It then contains the PartsBin. Some of the categories can be considered Core, because
they make up a lot of Lively Kernel functionality such as the PartsBin and the ScriptEditor. But they are
not managed and distributed by the git Lively Kernel project. And there are Lively pages, which contain 
mainly content. The core contains only the blank.xhtml page, because one page is needed to start working.

More or less, it gives you the core of Lively but you don't have the parts based 
tools...

I think so, if something is missing please write here... 

Thanks for trying out.
