Real-time collaboration

[pablo...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Can several users edit the same notebook in real-time or maybe it's on the roadmap?

If not, how can we implement it?
What's needed is a way to handle operational transformation ops per cell on the server and client.
On the server we need a gateway between the client and the kernel that will transform ops and inform other clients.
On the client we need a way to receive ops, transform them and push changes to cells.

Any pointer?

Thanks

Hi Pablo,

Yup, we think that with the APIs in JupyterLab this will be in general much easier to implement, as they have been designed precisely with that in mind.  Ian Rose is a new postdoc starting in a few weeks with me at Berkeley who will focus on that problem; now that we're getting JLab in a pretty usable state for everyday work, we hope to move quickly on this...

Cheers

Hi Fernando,

What is the scope of JupyterLab?
https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterlab

The README says:
"An extensible computational environment for Jupyter"

I'm not sure what it means but it seems to have a broader scope than just hooks for OT.
Will I be able to use OT with a notebook with minimal UI? For example without a file browser.

Is there a specific issue can I track for progress?

Thanks

Hi Pablo,

The current state of JupyterLab is to reach feature parity with the
current notebook, then we will look at extending the functionality.
We'll likely start to investigate before, but not at full speed.

We don't have the ability yet in lab to have the notebook in it's own page.

To clarify, we do plan on adding real-time collaboration to JupyterLab

I'll follow JupyterLab.

Thanks
