Comment:

 Okay, I have a few questions.  Mostly this is because of the annoying
 autogenerated thing this is from.
 * The file `this_project.inc` has
 {{{
 .. Sage Notebook
 .. _`Sage Notebook`: http://sagemath.org
 .. _`Sage Notebook github`: http://github.com/sagemath/sagenb

 .. _`Sage Notebook mailing list`: http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
 notebook
 }}}
   but I doubt we want the Sage notebook site to be sagemath.org, as there
 are a number of links to this.  What is the best "generic" Sage notebook
 URL?
 * I don't understand why there are several references to sending files to
 the Sage notebook devel list.  That is really not at all what we want it
 to do!  So what ''do'' we want it to do?  Surely not to upload to Trac ;-)
 * "Hardcore forking action" is semi-offensive and unfortunately part of
 the old crude hacking humor thing.  We should delete it.
 * There is a lot of reference to just sagenb, but in reality one might
 want it to be inside the devel directory (well, or whatever happens in the
 "new" Sage tree someday).


 My recommendation: make it '''really really obvious''' that this is
 absolutely generic documentation, and fix the things above.  This should
 all be doable in index.rst and a few other places.   I can do some of
 this, but am not sure what the answers to the first two questions are.

 Also, although this should still be a blocker for whatever release the new
 Sage notebook goes in, I don't think that the new notebook should depend
 on it; we want people testing it as soon as possible.  By the way, once
 the new notebook goes in, do we still need the removal and recreation of
 the symlink?  I guess so...
