I don't understand it in detail, but as I have said in another reply, this project is worth *any* amount of work. Given the state of Pyzo, it's entirely reasonable, imo, to target something spectacular for Leo in 2017. And not just a prototype or two. They should only take a few days/week. I mean something that will be truly useful for IPython/Jupyter users, without changing either IPython or Jupyter in any way. > I have made an app to explore such ideas (documents as interactive self > referential trees) called Grafoscopio (using Pharo instead of Python). > I am very interested in what you have found. I understand you prefer Pharo, but any advice you can give that pertains to Python or Pyzo will be most welcome. In fact, it may be that the design of Grafoscopio will provide import clues/insights into this project. > So is nice to see this exploration taking form (interactive IPython cells > as Leo nodes, finally!).

I'm a tool guy, not an entrepreneur. Having said that, Jupyter notebooks seem to be the Lingua Franca of the academic/scientific world. This is the world I admire most, and the world in which I am most comfortable. Leo simply must be a player in that world.
