We need people to test the new flask-based notebook that was done at the January Sage Days in Seattle (I believe mainly by Mike Hansen, Rado Kirov, and Dan Drake). The latest repository of code and instructions for installing it are here:

https://code.google.com/r/rkirov-flask/

Please try downloading and testing it. Try lots of things in it. Hammer it as hard as you can. And report back about any failures or problems you see.

This rewrite of the twisted.py parts of the notebook is the first step in a notebook rewrite. It makes the code *way* simpler to understand and maintain.

It would also be very interesting to see if this code is more scalable than the current notebook. For example, I wonder if running this flask-based notebook on top of, say, nginx using uwsgi, would scale better? It would also be interesting to see if changing our polling strategy to long-polling would help (I don't think we long-poll currently, do we? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_technology for a definition of long-polling).

Of course, back up your worksheets before doing this, or start the notebook with a different notebook directory.

Thanks,

Jason
