Hi Yusdi,

The link for downloading is broken, as it can only be seen locally.  Here is
what I get:  http://localhost/pmwiki/files/webLab_v0.1.zip

Please, please, fix it as it looks like something really good that I would
love to try!!!!

Have you had a look at Crunchy?  (http://code.google.com/p/crunchy)
It has a similar interface to weblab and one of the development plans for
this summer was to develop a "plugin" for Matplotlib.

With your permission (I don't know what license you used since I can't
download), I would like to see if we can incorporate your program within
Crunchy.  Or perhaps you'd like to join as a developer to the Crunchy team
and do this yourself!?  :-)

Johannes Woolard, co-developer of Crunchy is an Oxford student (in the
computer science department, I believe) is a subscriber to this list.  He is
currently on holidays but I think he should be back some time next week.
You two might be able to meet and discuss face to face about this
possibility.

We are hoping to get two students to work as part of Google's Summer of Code
2007 on Crunchy development and one of them has some experience with
matplotlib already.

Hi all,

I have developed a web interface for the Matplotlib library in my spare
time. I was inspired (or frustrated rather..) to develop it when I was
encountering a lot of license error with the Matlab server in my
university.

It is intended to be a free alternative to Matlab especially geared for
teaching mathematics and scientific programming. Obviously it is not as
complete as Matlab or other more mature scientific programming
environments
(R, Maple, Mathematica to name a few), however it comes with several
unique
benefits:
* Zero client side installation. This is an advantage for computer
lab/classroom setup where IT administration budget is limited. You just
need
reasonably recent browser which supports AJAX (IE6+, Mozilla 1.5+)
* Online file storage. All of the user files are stored on the server and
can be manipulated and edited online.
* And it is free

You can find an early release at the following URL:
http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/santoso/Software.WebLab.html

At this stage it is working but with some issues (which will need some
serious thinking...).
I would be grateful for any suggestion/comments. What I would love to do
is
to engage some educators to use and push this to be something more mature.

I realize this mailing list is rather quiet, hopefully this email can
spark
some interests.
Thanks again,


Yusdi
