Hello, I haven't been following all developments of notebook, because I've spent quite some time (almost 2 years) co-authoring a book covering high-school level math using Sage (matching all topics covered in schools in Poland, promoting both math and computers as means to understand material mostly by experimentation and empowering imagination). The main body (around 300 pages) is now ongoing finishing touches, and we started to work on Sage appendix, covering basic usage, installation and so on.
Because I wasn't reading all emails when they arrived, I did my research by browsing FAQ, sage-devel and sage-support, but now, I am quite puzzled about current situation. sagenb.org seems to be deprecated and SMC took over, but it isn't included as off-line solution yet - in roadmap we found it is planned for December, and from same roadmap it seems it will still change quite some till then. It means that easily accessible long-term on-line version is on SMC but off-line and classroom runs sagenb notebook. We would have to describe two quite different interfaces (one of which isn't finalized yet). This brings some complications for our target audience (high-school students), especially that basic tasks like editing text cells is different in SMC (no TinyMCE yet). Now after this introduction, I have 3 questions, answers to which would help me a lot: 1) when BSD licensed SMC off-line version will be included, will it replace default notebook? 2) will sagenb.org remain on-line and active until SMC reaches personal off-line Sage installs, so one will be able to use local and remote using same interface, not two different ones? 3) how confident we can be about SMC off-line reaching Sage in December? It's more like "a wish" or "the plan"? All those are important to me, because it can heavily influence release date of book - we can consider releasing version describing classical Notebook and sagenb.org, we might consider holding the release a bit, but not indefinitely, so we might need to release anyway and publish on-line errata later on, but publisher might not like doing a fresh printing if material will be outdated 6 months after it hits shelves. Sorry in advance if those were answered already, like hundred times, but I wasn't able to find those by searching "notebook" or "sagenb" or "cloud" in mailing lists I'm part of.
