Hi

While this costs (little) money, small postgraduate classes can always
rent a cheap linode or other virtual private server and host sage, and 
restricted access is built-in and accounts fairly easy to manage.
If you can ssh and install sage on linux, this is easy. Even multiple
versions of sage on the same server (different ports). 

Idea: perhaps sagenb can host sage-nb-4.6, sage-nb-4.7, etc., including the
latest stable or two or three and latest development version; and 
even point at the same .sage for users (the easy default). They
can login via different dns to different versions. Probably have to 
take some care to access worksheets from one at a time, or do 
worksheets lock themselves already?

In my own environment I instead encourage each person to run their own
sage on each machine and mail .sws around or host them as .sws downloads
on any website, public or local or private as they want.

Regards,
Jan
