Hi Guys -

This may be a bit off-topic, but I believe it touches on several of 
the ideas at work here...

I'm starting a modest project (along with Robert Krahn and Marko 
Roeder at the Hasso Plattner Institute) to extend the Lively Kernel 
universe to...

	servers and databases via Node.JS or Jaxer or similar
	visualization via ProtoVis or InfoVis or similar
	other languages via OMeta
	the cloud via AppEngineJS or similar
	3D via WebGL

We're short on resources, so this will happen slowly, and we're not 
even "done" making LK what it should be, but that's the idea.

Whether it makes sense or not, it certainly should be possible to 
take the OMeta part of this and play around in a lively manner with, 
eg, Smalltalk, Clamato and Newspeak.  If there is significant 
interest, it would be fairly easy slide the OMeta work up a bit in 
our schedule.
