Hello,

Be careful that the Sage notebook might not be supported in the future. The reason is that there is now the IPython notebook that can be launched with

$ sage -notebook ipython

It is very much like the sage notebook except that currently there is no server mode (but several of them are in development).

To answer your questions:

  1. The worksheets are not saved as .sws but rather has a bunch of files. The .sws format is just an archive of these files. If you have a .sws file somwhere, you can look inside with

    $ tar xf my_file.sws

and you can see that it matches the structure of what you have in ~/.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/home/

  1. It would be hard to have two servers (in your case local and sagenb.org) sharing worksheets. Or at least, sagenb was not designed for that. Each server has its own administrator with his/her policy for logins/passwords. It seems that currently, you need to use an openid to log in: http://openid.net/. Be careful that it is not as nice as it sounds, open ID is not a free foundation. They provide an ID protocol in order to sell information of their users...

  2. Using the cloud is only relevant if you have a tremendous internet connection all the time.,
