I like this idea. One of things that is very attractive about Sage is that I can release a paper with code that runs on a specific version of Sage and people will have access to that version to run that code. For that reason, but it would also be nice if there were online notebooks for every version of Sage. This might not be feasible, but it would be nice to tell someone that we tested this code on Sage 3.2.1 and people could easily access that version of Sage online and run the code.
