Bob,
I would like to use some of these things, but first I am trying to
understand how to get things to work inside of their server. I've had
to work around some issues with asynchronous updates coming from the
server. The other issue is that significant SAGE code will have to be
rewritten to take advantage of this. I'm trying to provide a smooth
upgrade path that won't break worksheets produced in older versions of
SAGE. At present SAGE ships with 11.6. I'm trying to migrate safely
to 11.8 and when we release 11.10 so that there is a stable set of
features, I will urge them to switch to that. Now that I've dealt
with some of their initial problems, I can also get a better list of
what needs to be done. What I think we want to do is define a plot
primitive and have that generated in SAGE, rather than having them
produce .pmesh (as they do now) or .jvxl as we've talked about some.

Good idea. Hadn't thought of that. What about the z-shade stuff
(11.9 right?:().

Yes, it is the custom menu that was generated for the SAGE notebook a
while ago. I haven't modified it, although I think it should be made
to match the web interface features. I'm waiting for feedback on what
they want.
