[lively-kernel] Quick Browsing Webwerkstatt

[Lincke, Jens]

oh, thanks, I moved it to documentation (and did not think about the link).

btw: these hyperlinks can be edited by marking the text and pressing CMD+K or (CTRL+K) respectively...  and not forget to save the world. ;-)

The video tutorials are great and I love the subtitling feature to make creating tutorials simpler and faster.

FYI the link for Lively2 Overview is broken.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi, all

since not everybody likes to use apaches index to navigate you may also have more fun
using index pages such as  http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/index.xhtml for navigation.
They will load a world at a time directly into the container world (without booting a complete lively again).
You even can modify the contents of the world directly in the browser, but the user experience may vary since
we did not build lively world to edit them this way (think of global offsets or the fact that there is a world inside a world).
Module dependencies are loaded on demand (but not unloaded) so some worlds may break the browsing experience of other worlds
if they require modules that don't play nicely. But since this is practically not the case, this is not really an issue.
Sometimes you get errors when loading a world, this indicates that either the world has a problem anyway which needs fixing or
the world does not like the way it was loaded.

Some worlds, such as http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/documentation/index.xhtml,  even contain buttons to created new worlds based on a template. I use this feature for creating a new world every day in my journal, but it also comes in handy for quickly creating documentation page.

Using such quick browsing will let you explore much more content in the lively Wiki. This will also show you a lot of outdated worlds or plain garbage.
Feel free to use the "delete" button, or rename button (works only when not changing levels in a wiki), or the "saveAs" button and delete the old world.
This destroys the svn history, but it works across directory levels.

The changes to the wiki can be observed here: http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/ChangeLog.xhtml

Have fun browsing,

Jens

To some of us, writing computer programs is a fascinating game. A program is a building of thought. It is costless to build, weightless, growing easily under our typing hands. If we get carried away, its size and complexity will grow out of control, confusing even the one who created it. This is the main problem of programming. It is why so much of today's software tends to crash, fail, screw up.

When a program works, it is beautiful. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great program is subdued, made simple in its complexity.
