[lively-kernel] Try DBJr (HyperCard-like stacks in Lively Kernel)

[Astrid Thomschke]

Hi everyone -

I once built a HyperCard implementation in LivelyKernel myself, which
can be found here:
http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/projects/BP2012/IPadPresentationPages/Hypercard.xhtml
.
Initially this was supposed to be a demo implementation to see how
good LivelyKernel works on iPad - or more how well our progress on
bringing LivelyKernel to the iPad is going (I'm part of a bachelors
project which implements collaborative and mobile features). However,
thinking about the functionality of the background, it kind of ended
up in implementing morph diffing and merging for the PartsBin, which
is still WIP...
