Context
Notebook 7 is the next major version of the familiar document-oriented notebook experience based on:
- JupyterLab components for the frontend
- Jupyter Server for the Python server
To learn more about Notebook 7 you can have a look at the Jupyter Enhancement Proposal: Build Jupyter Notebook v7 off of JupyterLab components — Jupyter Enhancement Proposals
Small excerpt:
This JEP presents a path forward for the evolution of the Jupyter Notebook application in a way that is technically consistent with the rest of our tools and thus more sustainable, while meeting the needs of our users.
This document proposes that the next major release of the Jupyter Notebook application, version 7, will be based on the JupyterLab codebase, but will provide an equivalent user experience to the current (version 6) application.
Get involved
There are many ways you can participate in the Jupyter Notebook 7 effort. We welcome contributions from all members of the Jupyter community.
Development is happening in the jupyter/notebook repository on GitHub: GitHub - jupyter/notebook: Jupyter Interactive Notebook
Anyone is welcome to help with triaging issues, fixing bugs, documentation, creating content and helping others.
If you have an extension for the Classic Notebook v6 and woud like to port it to Notebook 7, you can check how to develop an extension for JupyterLab and/or Jupyter Server. The documentation provides some links to resources that will help you get started. There will be more improvements and iterations on the documentation over the coming weeks.
Thanks to all contributors!
