Vote: transfer jupyter_ydoc to jupyter-server

davidbrochart commented 2 years ago

Problem

With the ongoing work in JupyterLab around RTC, we are starting to create back-end shared document structures that shouldn't be tied to JupyterLab in particular. I can imagine e.g. a Python web client that would need these document structures as well, it shouldn't need to depend on JupyterLab. We currently have:

class YFile(YBaseDoc): a document class for a generic text document.
class YNotebook(YBaseDoc): a document class for a notebook.

These classes currently have methods to:

get initialized from a source (text/JSON).
get exported to text/JSON.
observe changes to the document.

Proposed Solution

I started https://github.com/davidbrochart/jupyter_ydoc. It's still in development but it already supports jupyter_releaser. Please comment on this issue or just use :+1: / :-1: if you agree/disagree on transferring it to jupyter-server.
