[okfn-discuss] OKFN instance of IPython Notebook?

Fri Jan 25 13:50:47 UTC 2013

The safest is probably running it in a virtual machine, it's fairly easy to
set up as an EC3 instance for example. I don't think they do concurrent
editing right now. Many people are sharing their notebooks on Github, but
it's a bit of a hassle to import (would be nice to be able to provide a URL
in the web interface, and have it download and display the notebook), and
there is no diff functionality between different notebooks, for example.
(You can diff the textfile, but that doesn't look very nice).

Wonderful project though! I look forward to seeing statistics textbooks
(open) done entirely in the form of notebooks, where you can rerun every
single calculation and graph, reuse the code in your own projects, etc.
