I agree that this is the right question. I think we can strip
everything *other* than:
* Can be appropriated -- translated, modified, discussed.
=> A "view source" key
The ability to modify apps
The ability to run your modified apps
The ability to reuse a document created in one app inside other apps
* encourages creation rather than mere consumption of content.
=> Strong authoring tools for:
Written documents
Vector and bitmap graphics
Animation
Presentations
Stories
* encourages joint collaboration and sharing.
=> Sharing documents and messages between users
Real-time synchronous collaboration between users
High-level synchronization of data structures à la groupthink
What do folks think -- did I miss anything important? Did I list
anything that doesn't deserve to be listed?
Thanks,
- Chris.
