May I suggest broadening the discussion:
applications:
* Homework / grading
* Lecture/Talk
* Collaboration on Text Books/ Study Guides
Some functionality that these might imply:
* collect worksheets in a structure (tree view)
* share code/data between worksheets
e.g., each sheet implements a python module
naming convention derived from the paths in the tree
each notebook can import code/data from other worksheets in the
structure
* easily navigate the structure
e.g., beamer like?
* cloning of worksheets in the tree
e.g., make them children of the sheet
* annotation styles tied to worksheets and/or structure
* backup/restore, decentralized storage
e.g., unison like capabilities, or mercurial ...
* permissions structure
e.g., read/write/clone
Workflow for homeworks might be:
* given an organization of worksheets
Class Mxxx
. . Grading functionality (code)
. . . data
. . . . statistical views
. . . . Individual views
. . Homework
. . . Assignment n
. . . . Assignment n/Student m
. . . . . Assignment 1/Student m/Grader l
* student has read access to individual grade report, grade
statistic views
read Access to Homework Assignment n
- student clones the assignment, works on it, uploads his/her
clone
- students/grader clones Assignment n/Student m
adds comments/suggestions/code
* grader merges data into grade book
For Lectures/Talks, individual notebooks might be designed to fit onto
a screen (slide),
navigation might imply precomputing results in worksheets that can be
directly imported
into a given notebook page/slide.
