Dear Mr. Guymon,

I think it is a hard day for the lively community and so to me reading about the decision of Google that lively is to be shut down to the end of the year.

The request is why?

Are these the emphasized advertising successes never did? Or is it cause of getting expensive to keep it? No advertising ideas? Too less interests?

1. What does lively mean especially to me?

The Lively shows best that if set up a system to get from all folk out of the world there will be more understanding and more relationships between individuals meeting without any restrictions of race, sex, religion, politics, age, and so much more. The Lively is a place, where all folk are welcome.

It's also usable for all growing ups of today to show this world will be another one than this CNN or other broadcasting services will show to us. Its an education for the new kind of world-citizen, the livelyzens!

In CoolCatTeacherBlog its also regretted the decision lively shutting down as a major mistake, for the students LOVE LIVELY with Digiteen and they were just about to come out with a major recommendation on HOW to use these great tools for educators. On their wiki, students are beginning to describe and share their work.

It`s a lot of lively means to me. And there is to be said so much, I can not add more than the others did before. I do my thanks to a ommunity, where I found friendship, creativity and really love!

2. What features I would like to see on lively?

Keep these features shown yet in lively. It`s shown life-style in clothing, simple hairdressing, furniture-inventory, house-crafting, colours, vacation. Be still up today a youtube-platform, broadcast freeloads as good shown soundtracks in the rooms, shown real life of their owners.

3. What are the suggestions for keeping lively alive?

This will be the most important request! Indeed of thinking lively to change to a fully downloadable application instead of running it by server-technology, it has to be set on open source. This contains the users to be changed to their own developers working now with the tools of the experts. This includes also the duty - as shown yet to the developers – for every user of lively in future to sign a non- disclosure-agreement of non-commercial use. This to be offered to the free developers in the time to yet.

This would be in all cases the main item.

a. Further on it has - in request of staying by Google-Systems - to be added to the youtube-broadcasting system as a window to the selfbroadcasting generation, showing themselves as real showrooms they have created.

b. In request of Google wants to get rid of lively it has to be added to the WIKIPEDIA-company as a freeload fully downloadable application and open source. There are so much adding advantages as to be the independence to add-ons like the WIKIPEDIA-discussion.The rooms kept til today and created in future will run like the yet running WIKIPEDIA-items, like them as non-completed open-ends on the same server space.

This will be the most thinkable solution to survive. In case the two shown solutions will not run there are further possibilities:

c. lively is donated complete to the livelyzens-group and sponsored by industrials and others.

4. What are you willing to do keep lively alive?

I thought - inspired by friends and the actual discussion - about to pay a flatrate per month to keep lively independent. Keep it also the beta-version of today, for its cute! Need a super-
perfect game-like common? These versions are expensive in developing and running. They might also destroy the unique style of the now well- known and definitly accepted style.

Last I`m willed to tolerate paid advertising while remaining in the entrance-modus like shown to yet in beginning.

5. What to do if there is no solution to lively?

This might be the request of releasing everyone of the users who is interested in his own rooms due to a frame like a game-pad. You might use your own rooms further on like a super-mario for example. Added on is the possibility to load further on the catalog-contents and inventory. The avatar or avatars used yet might "survive" in an encaged environment.

Also this leads to a future possibility to an online-game-like connection-application which is related from existing ones. In case of such a possibility of an online game-like application I`m
willing to sign to the Google-company the non-disclosure-agreement of non commercial use.

Wouldn`t this be an alternative..?

Sincerely
