[IPython-dev] IPython Notebook in read-only mode

[Clare Sloggett]

Hi Antonio,

If you're in an office with people and you don't want to set up an actual
website, you could also just send them the html file, or put it in a file
sharing space in your office, or Dropbox. Even if your colleagues aren't
particularly techie, they only need to "open" the html file to display it a
browser.

But, a read-only mode for Notebook is something I've wanted too. The reason
is that IPython Notebook provides its own authentication mechanism, so
something can be at a public address, but still relatively private. And
it's trivial to get going, since Notebook runs a webserver for you.

Of course I can use another authentication system on the static html, like
Dropbox sharing, or set up a webserver with a password-protected area, but
it would be pretty nice if Notebook supported read-only access as fully as
it supports read/write access.

Cheers,
Clare
