[IPython-dev] Developing a MOOC with IPython notebooks

Hi,
I just (seconds ago) added the ability to publish IPython notebooks
from SageMathCloud (https://cloud.sagemath.com). I've posted a quick
video I just made for you here illustrating how it works:
http://youtu.be/QcOK-LRCW38
Basically:
1. Create a SageMathCloud account, a new project, and upload or
create an ipython notebook.
2. Click the "Publish" button in the upper right corner of the
IPython notebook.
3. Share the link.
... or ...
Since SageMathCloud projects *are* just full Linux accounts, you can
use the Terminal via +New --> Terminal, or just ssh in (as explained
in project settings), then directly run nbconvert with whatever
options you want. Click the "i" to the left of any file or
directory tree to make it public.
SageMathCloud is kind of like http://tmpnb.org/, except it is a lot
less "tmp" -- every project is persistent, snapshotted every few
minutes (using bup), and there is chat, collaborators, simultaneous
editing for documents, etc. It's all open source now [1], though the
free hosted environment itself is very powerful (with 19 dedicated
servers plus cloud compute resources). We frequently had around 800
simultaneous running projects around finals recently...
