• JupyerLab / Notebook 7 extensions
  • Summary of the discussion between @jtpio @ericsnekbytes @echarles
    • Context
      • Initial RetroLab's goal was just to have a simple UI, but not to support all the JupyterLab features. It had support for JupyterLab extensions since the beginning because it was able to reuse the same prebuilt extensions system
      • Then community members came with requests to support Left and Right side panels. This has been implemented in Notebook V7 (menus allow to show those left and right panels)
      • The extensions which do not interact with the main panel, or the status bar, or the top are should just work (e.g. resource usage is working)
      • We should extend the question to also JupyterLite, Voila, Gator...
      • Key takeover is a need to improve the existing documentation to make this clearer to extension authors
    • Opportunities to add docs/other help for extension authors (nb7 + lab)
      • "Lab Extension tutorial" page: add a new section or link to another page (how to make your extension compatible with nb7 and lab)
      • "Extension points" page can be expanded
      • Can add in links from docs to extension-examples and jupyterlab-plugin-playground (latter can be used for additional teaching/examples)
    • We should track docs updates, AND nb7/lab extension compatibility in a meta issue perhaps, somewhere
• Governance update: https://jupyter.org/about
