A nifty service provided by some of the Ma* folks are webspaces where
users could upload some powerful research-level. For example:

* Mathematica: http://library.wolfram.com/
* Matlab: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/
* Maple: 
http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=worksheet/cloud/overview

What's great about these websites is that the codes uploaded by users
aren't just demos of the software's basic functionality but cool uses
of the program to solve real problems. You can download them and try
them out yourself.

The Sage website has some similar resources on the Sage Feature Tour
page but these have more of a demo feel to them. Also, one would
probably need to contact the webmaster if they had a cool Sage
notebook to share that solves a cool and complicated problem. (For
example, once I finish implementing Riemann Theta function into Sage
I'll immediately start using them to generate quasiperiodic solutions
to KdV. These result in awesome pictures!)

Q: Does this sound like a good thing to have on the Sage website?

Q: How would such a service be implemented? I was thinking about a
public Sage Notebook of some sort. That way people can play with the
code in place. (Though, that raises the problem of preserving the
original code...hrm.)

Q: Is something like this already available and I just haven't ever
seen it before?

Again, this is just an idea that I think would be cool to see and at
the same time serve as good advertising for the awesome power of Sage.
