Hi, I'm a bit late to the party here (and very new to the party - this being my first post to the group) but maybe this of interest:
I've been working on number 1 and sort of number 2 since the start of the year, and have something pretty solid working now. It's a browser based REPL, in the notebook style with nice javascript-based visualisation. In fact, I said it better in the README that I was writing this morning: "You can think of it like a pretty REPL that can plot graphs, or you can think of it as an editor for rich documents that can contain interactive Clojure code, graphs, table, notes, LaTeX formulae. Whatever works for you! One of the main aims is to make it lightweight enough that you can use it day-to-day instead of the command-line REPL, but also offer the power to perform and document complex data analysis and modelling tasks. Above all else, Gorilla tries not to dictate your workflow, but rather to fit in to the way you like to work, hopefully putting a bit more power to your elbow." It's got some features that I think are pretty neat: visualisations as values, notebook files are also plain clojure files, very lightweight interface (it's no iPython!). I was planning to get an initial release out next week or the week after. (BTW, I should note that the client side is written in javascript, not clojurescript - as it evolved from an earlier javascript project). Screenshot of extremely hastily put together example, attached! I haven't done much in the way of Incanter integration, but it's planned (and should work really well I think). I appreciate it's hard to judge, given that you haven't seen anything of it yet, but I'd be very happy if it was interest for the submission. And I'm in the position and hopefully have the skills to help mentor someone (being an academic) if that's of use. And I'd be really very happy to do it. Anyway, like I say, I appreciate that I'm unknown here, and talking about a project that no-one has seen yet, at the last minute (!) but it seemed like it would be silly not to mention what I'm up to :-) I'm happy to write up a few words for the wiki in the format above if anyone thinks it's a good idea.
