For anyone interested in working with the sage cell server, we've made
an experimental spkg and posted it here:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/sagecell-0.9.0.spkg
<http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/jason/sagecell-0.9.0.spkg>
It's sort of hefty (~45MB) because it includes all of MathJax, which is
something like 200MB uncompressed for all the image fonts. When MathJax
is included in Sage, we won't have to do that, and the cell server will
be on the order of a few megabytes.
is there any real reason to include MathJax?
MathJax works reasonably well when it pulls
everything needed from the web.
I would rather see it as an optional package.
Our purpose is to make a single self-contained spkg that does not
require web access to install or use on localhost.
It would be trivial to exclude mathjax and download it when the spkg is
installed. It would also be trivial to use the MathJax CDN if so
desired. If someone wants to submit pull requests to implement these
features, they are more than welcome. We're going for
ease-of-installation of a flexible development environment in this
experimental spkg.
The hope is that "real soon now" we'll have the new notebook and MathJax
included in Sage. Then the sagecell spkg will drop to a few MB.
Thanks,
Jason
