Next Version of Notebook

• The server will be handled by Twisted
• The browser will continually (~1sec) poll the server for updates (re: google spreadsheets)
• When updates are detected by the poll, they'll be individually downloaded by the client if the client chooses to ask
• User authentication will be done on a better scale -- and the users will be able to download and edit a "profile" which will remember
  • Whether or not to show the left pane
  • Preferred key controls
  • Default worksheet config
  This file will then be uploadable to another server -- so I can change my settings on my local machine, and then update them on sage.math, too.
• Every link will be able to be controlled by the keyboard
• Worksheet level preferences
  • which system to evaluate cells in by default (e.g., PARI, SAGE, Maxima, Python (no preparsing) etc.)
  • whether to always display output typeset by default or not (this could be useful)
  • whether to display in slideshow mode by default.
  • permission/access control, i.e., two options:
    • can others read?
    • can others write?
