Sage Days 31 Project Ideas

HTML 5 backend

• #9471

MathJax

• #9774

• From Nicolas Thiery: would Mathjax be able to support pgf/tikz pictures?

Notebook Logging

• Make it so the log files get rotated and compressed. Support or use some standard tool.
• Make it so log files contain something useful, and are configurable.

Database: SQLite

The following should *at a minimum* work with SQLite, since that is included with Sage and whatever we do needs to at least work standard with Sage with "zero configuration".

• Store all worksheets in a database
• Store user configuration data in a table
• Etc.

Create a Robust Notebook "System"

• A script that starts a separate notebook process
• It then starts monitoring the notebook to make sure it keeps running, and does a standard test (e.g., view published worksheet listing, login, create a worksheet, compute 2+2, delete worksheet, log out).
• If it doesn't respond after a preset amount of time with any test, does a configurable action, e.g.,:
  • kills and restarts the server
  • sends emails to the admins

i18n

• port the internationalization patches (#9428) to the new notebook

Jmol Update

• #9238

• #11078

notebook to and from other formats

• sws2tex - see its bitbucket site

• sws2rst - see #10637

• rst to notebook - see #11459

  • Note from Sébastien Labbé: I would like to polish up and merge into Sage a script I wrote this winter to translate .rst files into notebook (txt) files. It is based on the file docHTMLProcessor.py which is part of the sage notebook. Although, since there are always rumors that the Sage Notebook is changing, I did not push it any further and was waiting for the new version of the Notebook before. The script (rst2notebook) is available in the misc directory of the sage-combinat hg server.

The mysterious moving/disappearing text bug

• Find a reproducible one
• Fix it

Geogebra integration

• Confirm proof of concept at #7489

• Make some progress figuring out how to actually get it into Sage in new notebook

Folders, Tags, Hierarchies

• Provide organization to list of worksheets
• Give worksheets identifiers that allow cross-worksheet links

• #7665

• #1496

• R Beezer: I think there is at least one mre ticket out there, using a Javascript tree library to do this, but I cannot find it.

Sorting lists of worksheets

• Sort lists of worksheets based on creation time, modified time, tag, alphabetical

Various proposals for enhancements

• sage-notebook Post

Configure cell "skip-ahead" behavior

• sage-notebook Post

Widget Infrastructure

• Create a general way to easily incorporate (Javascript) widgets, such as existing Tiny MCE editor and graph editor or rumored matrix editor, equation editor, function palette, etc

• #9585 (Davide Cervone)
