- Restricted version for users.
- Registration:
- Challenge questions.
- Admin approval.
- Revokable custom tokens.
- Users:
- Groups.
- Privileges.

Matrix B mentioned twice in B.solve_left?: B.solve_left(B, ...).
- Better error detection, e.g., for Maxima command completion.
- Completions link for mobiles.
- Live introspection cells.
- Introspection cross-links.
- Improve introspection / completion interface: floating div, RHS div.
New documentation browser. Send worksheet docstrings to this browser.
5. Notebook: "Modes"
- %timeit.
Graph editor - #1321.
- reST:
%rest cells (auto-hide, double-click to show) converted to HTML by Sphinx.
- Preparse in the browser: implicit multiplication, less work for server.
Python debugger a la Pylons.
Draw - SVG-edit.
- Annotate output from matplotlib's SVG backend.
Code editor a la BeSpin
- Command-line history.
- Syntax highlighting.
- Context-sensitive completion.
