Nils Bruin has addressed most of the points I was going to make, but I
did notice one minor thing in testing the new notebook - it actually
effects the old one too:
If you have a comment with a question mark, the question mark gets
parsed by the help system. I consider this undesirable behavior. For
example, the line
# Is this a bug?
has output:
No object 'sh.bug' currently defined.
...which certainly isn't what I would expect.
Cheers,
Marshall Hampton

Hi,
I spent the last 3 days synthesizing the ideas from the workshop and writing
a lot of code and have put together the first version of the SAGE Notebook
2.
I've posted a server running it here:
https://sage.math.washington.edu:8102/
Unless anybody *else* wants to put a lot of hard work into this now, it is in
feature freeze. I implemented the minimum of what I really wanted.
I'm sure there are *lots* of bugs in the notebook. I don't know of any
in particular, but I wrote a lot of new code, so there are bound to be
numerous issues.
I want to use this new notebook server in a class for high school
students that I'm teaching next week, so I would be very grateful if
people could try it out and report bugs or points about the design
that they find very confusing. You can also report features you wish
were there, but I'm not going to implement anything new on the notebook
myself for a while.
By the way, the general document model greatly resembles Google
Documents, as I'm sure will be clear once you try the notebook out.

Important note -- I implemented a secure separate process model for
the notebook. Unfortunately, ssh doesn't work at all in the chroot jail
that the server runs in (Bobby -- why!? -- just create two new accounts
with dumb passwords -- it isn't possible to ssh from one to the other),
so I can't use it in the chroot jail yet. So it is trivial to vandalize the
server...
