    I don't have a good solution (yet), but for some time I've wanted to
    make a nice way to attach a worksheet to a PDF file -- and get the
    notebook server to automatically pull such worksheets out of PDFs.

    So you should be able to do something like "\attachworksheet{foo.sws}"
    in your TeX file, post the resulting PDF, and then anyone can upload the
    PDF to a notebook server, and it would automagically pull out foo.sws
    and read that.

    The nice thing about this is it would be easy to make it work with
    papers posted on the arXiv. We could even make it so that, in the
    notebook, you could just paste the URL to a paper and it would do
    everything needed.

    All of the pieces necessary for this to work exist, but no one has tied
    them together in a convenient way.


Can you provide a brief sketch of how, along with links?  I can tie this
together for Salvus (a new Sage notebook style project, from scratch,
that I've been working on for the last 6 months) -- I'm spending quite a
bit of time every day working on Salvus, and a lot of what I'm doing is
a lot more work than what you're asking for above.  By designing this in
from the start, it'll be easier than adding it later.


I wrote example code for this 4 years ago or so and put it up on trac:

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/4825

By the way, from the discussion mentioned in the trac ticket, it seems that William had the original idea :).

Thanks,

Jason
