Online Lab Notebooks

This is interesting: online lab notebooks = places to document anything and everything you are doing in terms of research.
  • IPython may be most useful for people coding in Python as part of their research.
  • knitr is a notebook-like tool for R
  • Projects looks more useful for 'generic' research projects.
  • Beaker is a code notebook that works with many of the hip programming languages.
It's not really clear to me what Projects would do better than say Google Drive/Docs or a regular wiki. IPython looks great, but presumably only works if you code in Python.
