[ckan-dev] Fwd: Data processing in the browser: codenode-ng

Mon Jun 20 13:58:48 UTC 2011

Code node looks like a very interesting project. I think you should take a
look at the implementation of the sage notebook (sagemath.org), which does
something very similar to what you are aiming for.

good luck on this project,

Flávio
