Not quite. As far as I know, there hasn't been any work on providing
IPython in a multiuser environment — though that should certainly be
possible. Wakari, which is the closest to that, is closed source. It
should be possible to build something like Wakari for PDL by using
Docker and there was some discussion about making a Docker image for PDL
at the YAPC::NA Perl science panel.

However, there's good news! At SciPy 2014, the IPython team announced
that they will be separating the language agnostic parts of IPython into
another project called Project Jupyter <https://twitter.com/ProjectJupyter>.
It looks like they are trying to work on the multiuser use case and an
interesting tool that lets you edit notebooks in Google Chrome. It
doesn't look quite ready, but I'm following the developments there.
