I'll learn about IPython, that should be better than implementing all
that stuff from scratch and would also integrate the communities (I
think this would bring more users/developers to know SymPy and get
along with it).
About your dream to live.sympy.or
Login on google is already an option on gamma.sympy.org and it can be
extended to live.sympy.org as well (Maybe use facebook/twitter or any
other accounts too?).
The collaboration in real-time should be a bit tricky, I guess but it
would be a VERY nice feature indeed.
Thanks for the suggestions and thoughts!
