Looks great! I assume that the login and account stuff will all be
configurable in the end.
Can that be linked into unix authentication and kerberos tickets? I
guess not . The browser probably doesn't have access to these things.
It would be nice if I don't have to log in to sage to use it on my own
machine, though, and still have some protection if it is a multi-user
machine. (even on my desktop, other people in the network can log in
in principle)

I did find a few things when I gave it a whirl. Use them to your
liking. It's really impressive that you got something this functional
in only a couple of days!

 - Initially I found it hard to rename a worksheet. It's actually dead
easy: click on the name. This was just not obvious to me from the
start.

 - Currently the "Edit" button does nothing and the "Text" button
gives the edit environment. However, I have been unable to save my
changes from edit mode. Should that be the "save" button?

 - How and from where do I save and load objects?
 - How and from where do I attach files?
 - On the "home" page, I am called "Me", but in the revisions page I
am called by my login
 - What is "archive" vs. "active"?
 - Can I empty the trash?
 - I was unable to import a saved worksheet from the old notebook
 - I do not like the 2 pull-down menus on the left
 - The third one (system) is great. I am afraid that currently it's a
bit too minimalist, though. I think it needs to say "system: [sage|
magma|...]"
 - The "new" option there is particularly confusing. The entries in
that menu all pertain to the current sheet, except this one. What's
worse, it's the default one, so it is always showing!
 - One/Multi Cell mode is a different thing from Interrupt/Evaluate
all/Restart etc. You can't put those in the same menu.
 - tab completion in systems other than sage is still largely broken
(prefixes)
 - search_doc is currently broken
 - Can the output of search_doc be prettified? title of page/section
rather than the filename, perhaps? You may need some logic/conventions
to find a sensible title for every page.
 - Help browser in the notebook needs a "search" box that interfaces
to search_doc. (tree view on the side too?)
 - You can actually copy help pages from the notebook and make them
worksheets for yourself! That's really good! It breaks the links,
though :-)
