Thebe Assets

[rgbkrk]

Any thoughts on using Bower or a CDN for thebe assets?

For the short term, rawgit works pretty well. So you'd link to https://rawgit.com/oreillymedia/thebe/master/static/main-built.js.

Some of the other assets, jquery-ui for instance, are loaded over there a cdn already.

Another pro of sticking with rawgit is that we can use git tags for specifying our build matrix. It's not clear how we would do this with something like NPM, where you only specify a single, well defined version string. With tags we can do things like notebook4.1.0,ipywidgets4.0.3 which can be resolved via rawgit https://rawgit.com/oreillymedia/thebe/notebook4.1.0,ipywidgets4.0.3/static/main-built.js.
