A spreadsheet in Sage. Social Calc is by Dan Bricklin, who was involved with building the first spreadsheet, VisiCalc. Artistic 2.0 License, which FSF says is GPL-compatible. Pure Javascript, with some PERL. Seems responsive enough, though I did not stress it. 1) Download a tar or zip file from https://github.com/DanBricklin/socialcalc and unpack anywhere 2) chmod 700 socialcalcserver.pl (or whatever) 3) Execute socialcalcserver.pl Now a small web server will fire up and you get back a URL to that server you can point to with your browser. Allows for saving files, just answer with defaults on first use. 4) Apply http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11489 (Bruce Cohen's iframe command) 5) In a worksheet run html.iframe("http://127.0.0.1:6557/";, 600, 1000), adjusted to taste, and/or port OR, the idly curious can see a screenshot at http://buzzard.ups.edu/misc/social-calc-sage.png This is used by the One Laptop Per Child project on the XO, and there seems to be a commercial project which wraps it with users, logins, site admin, etc. Maybe there is is enough exposed to (a) make it easy to tightly integrate in a Sage worksheet, or attach to a command-line session (b) and/or implement Dan Drake's idea of allowing Sage commands in cells Rob -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
