Hi all, for regulars of the list JupyterLab isn't really news (we even chose the name here!). But for those who, like myself, couldn't make it to SciPy'16, here's a summary of the news; Brian and Jason had a chance to tell this story to the wider world, so hopefully we'll begin getting more testing and feedback of the system...
These two blog posts from us and from the Bloomberg team have a summary that may be useful for the wider community, including slides of the talk. I'll update our post once the video of the talk is up: http://blog.jupyter.org/2016/07/14/jupyter-lab-alpha/ http://www.techatbloomberg.com/blog/inside-the-collaboration-that-built-the-open-source-jupyterlab-project/ This work has been a long time in the making, but we're finally seeing the fruits of this hard labor. I really think we'll be able to give all our users an excellent foundation to build upon. Now begins the "other 90%" phase :) That slow, painstaking effort to make sure that we don't leave anyone behind, that key features are in place as robustly as they were in the existing notebook, and most importantly, that we find a viable path for extensions to be migrated. We'll work on that but we'll need help from the community as well. Today we're not quite ready to tackle extensions, as we still need a few weeks of polish in the core of JLab so it can really be used as an everyday replacement (even if it has a few minor regressions). But once we get there (and contributions from all of you will help us get there faster), we'll tackle in earnest the challenge of transitioning existing extensions, providing a migration guide for old ones, and documenting the APIs for how to build new ones that take full advantage of the new architecture.
