Indeed, and thanks for the kind words.  Both to answer this and
following your advice of providing a press-relase-like info piece,
here are some more details:

It's a bummer you couldn't make it to the ICERM workshop, it's been a
blast and we've had a ton of interesting discussions around the
NotebookS (IPython & Sage).  I've also had a good chance to talk a lot
about these things directly with William, and some good ideas have
come out.

Best,
