Hi all -

People on this list might be interested in JS9, which is a javascript
implementation of DS9 which runs in the browser.  Currently this is in beta
but it's worth checking out the demo at:

  http://js9.si.edu/

(In case your DS9 skills are rusty, in the default view you can change the
color stretch by left-clicking and dragging).

The lead developer is Eric Mandel at CfA and he is interested in getting a
feel for the level of interest in making hooks for a Python connection.
 This seems like an obvious and exciting candidate for IPython integration,
but feedback would be helpful.

Cheers,
Tom
