However, it turned out that using twisted.web2 was not the way to go, as the project was discontinued as an independent project. I'm not at all convinced that using twisted in any way (web or web2) is a good idea for the Sage notebook. I plan to revisit this in late September. The first thing I plan to do is consider switching from twisted to Django, as is done in codenode -- see http://codenode.org/ -- hopefully, even sharing code with that project. Of course, twisted could still get used at a certain level behind the scenes, but the Sage notebook would then no longer explicitly use it. So if you want to help as you describe above, perhaps you could accelerate this. This involves: (1) getting familiar with Django, if you don't already know it. (2) reading through the current codenode codebase (3) then formulating a plan to replace server/notebook/twist.py with something based either directly on Django, or possibly using codenode in some way. The above is what I would do, but if you do it first that would be spectacular.
