I deal with spectra which are generated one at time by the instrument. The processing may have to directed by a person as the series is likely to include multiple samples and/or bad scans. This might mean grouping spectra while discarding unusable files. I am trying to come up with a scheme that is easy to use for the people using the instrument. They may be experts in their field but don't necessarily have strong computer skills. Any interface needs to be simple. I know from experience that any extra steps is a barrier. I had not thought of an @interact. That might be quite useful. There may be a different approach. I am also thinking of making a small local gui and using the remote Sage server. This would be something like remote-sagetex. This would also get around having the user manually zip things. They can just select the files and they are handled as needed. However, it means making the gui and I rather like the notebook. I have to think about it.
