prompted by a question on the ipython user list about the IPython
notebook and the Sage one, I ended up writing a fairly long blog post
on the matter:
http://blog.fperez.org/2012/01/ipython-notebook-historical.html
It's mainly a history of the IPython notebook, but it tries to also
answer the user's question about where it stands in relation to the
Sage one; I figured some of you might find these notes interesting.
Feedback and corrections welcome, of course!
Cheers,

Ah, ok, that's great to hear. The road for Python3 in Twisted looks
like it will be a slow one, so I'm glad that dependency is gone for
Sage. I'll update that in the post, thanks for the correction.

Very nice! I think it might make sense to add in the opening paragraph
to "Other differences with the Sage notebook" that the Sage notebook is
meant to scale to big centralized multi-user servers (sagenb.org, with
about 76,000 accounts, is a good example). That is hinted when you say
it's built on a google docs model, but explicitly saying that draws a
big contrast with the single-user focus from the first sentence.
Thanks,
Jason

Good point, I just added this using your language.
By all means do let me know of other clarifications/fixes esp.
regarding the Sage nb. I think I have a reasonable understanding of
the development of Sage and did my best to make it justice. But I
have by no means followed it at the level of a developer, so I'm more
than happy to hear feedback.
