I think in general Vitalije's correct about the approach I was trying
to advocate.  I know at one point I was conflating the terms kernel and
server, which might have contributed to confusion.  I guess the
component I should have been referring to is the server, not the kernel
- I had noted that they might not be equivalent.

I've tried to stress that Jupyter itself being written in Python should
be irrelevant - a "service" that executes Python in a rich environment
(as Jupyter does) is attractive to (some subset of) Leo's Python users,
regardless of how the service is implemented.

For example here's a web service:
http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/latlngzip4.asp?lat=45&lng=-92
that converts lat and lon to zip code and some HTML showing a map

I'm hoping we can treat Jupyter as a service like that, converting
Python code to results (JSON) and maybe HTML displaying that result.

Cheers -Terry
