As discussed in other threads, I think such playing well with others should be done by client/server architecture, in the case of IPython. The main issue is the rendering of enhanced content, like math, 3D plots and so on. I don't know if some Qt web related technologies can be helpful here. I think that Leo has been too focused in playing well by interchanging files back and forth with others, and is time to think in playing well by communicating well with others (services). This has been mosly unexplored until now is showing to be critical for the Jupyter integration, where Leo has a lot to offer with its advanced self-referential and programmable DOM (beyond HTML).
