Be careful, with that if your student insert some markdown cell and reload it will prevent him/her from editing.
If you wrap it in a extension, you can probably make a pull request there :
https://github.com/ipython-contrib/IPython-notebook-extensions

Oh, great, will it be integrated into France-OS [1] ?

Also please use Python 3 :-)
You might want to have a look at ipydra [2] for deployment.

You should speak with :
- Jessica Hamrick who did something similar [3]
Miscs :
General thing in english stuff
You might want to contact
- Greg Wilson from software carpentry/Mozilla with whom you will share some interest in using notebook to teach
- Mit Teach Julia using IPython notebook, they have custom stuff, you might want to ping the Julia List. I think that
Aaron Culich at Berkeley EECS also probably made some mass deployment of IPython notebook.
- People from SageMath might be of help too as they have online IPython notebook.
- I prefer not to include link to companies, but ContinuumIO might also be of help as they already deploy wakari.
Though, they will probably offer you to go with wakari enterprise[6].
(No explicit contact info private mail me if you can't find)
More French specific stuff
You might want to contact
- Emanuelle Gouillart and Gael Varoquaux who worked on python pour les classes préparatoires [4].
(python for undergraduate student french program) They are near Paris though.
- Pierre Haessig was involved too in above project IIRC, and should be near you (at Bruz near Rennes), but is finishing his PhD, so might be busy[5].
- Enthought do not have python in the cloud IIRC, but do have French people in their team (Jonathan Rocher at least) which is great if you need support.
they are also more hardware oriented than continuum from the demo I have seen, which tend to be better for robotics IIUC.
- You might want to join the other thread on internationalization as I know by experience that french
student tend to not speak english very well until pretty late (Stargate-SG1 you did a better job than my english teacher)
Shameless plug at the end, especially because this seem to be a big project,
and also there seem to be some buzz[8] around notre cher Ministre de l'Économie,
du Redressement productif et du Numérique[7]. We would highly appreciate
any contribution on IPython and Open Source community, even more if you
could make your hierarchy understand that and officially put some extra people
(obviously you are already part of them) or fund to help.
If there is any need for someone from the IPython to come to convince peoples,
even despite [5], I am in France (for the time being), and Fernando Pérez, speak a
a perfect French, so I suppose if it is to convince a government agency to fund a project,
he might find some free time. There are also a handful of French speaking people
from the SciPy stack I can think of that are around, and I guess could be of help.
