I hope so, yes.  I think the ipython stuff is great, and they have a
solid approach.  I wanted to approach it from the frontend back and
hopefully reuse by connecting to an ipython notebook via websocket
(which they already provide).

I was heavily influenced by the development of codenode as well, which
I took part in.  I was focused on making a nice frontend for viewing
and sharing work that could hopefully use different backends.  So I
would be interested in seeing if we can find common ground in an web
socket engine protocol.  But the main challenge here was to define an
application which runs entirely locally - so you can run this program
without a server and therefore reproduce someones work on your
machine.
