Long term maintenance plans

[betatim]

@yuvipanda and @ryanlovett do you have a feeling for which of this repo or https://github.com/ryanlovett/jupyter-tree-download (or a new option like #19?) will be maintained for the long term?

We discussed making it easier for people to "resume their binder" at the meeting in Oslo and one simple way towards that goal is to make it easy to download your binder's contents and then upload it again later (more sophisticated ideas abound but this would be simple and take ~0 time to implement). So now wondering which extension we should use.

@betatim My feeling is that the backend functionality should be integrated into jupyter_server (what Min was suggesting, albeit with notebook). After that I think inertia would eventually land frontend support into notebook and lab. I don't really want to maintain the extensions long term though its not much effort.

Hi all,

I didn't know this project was still active and I also needed this feature to JLab so at the end of July I started to develop a similar extension: https://github.com/hadim/jupyter-archive

It only supports JLab and also support more archive formats than ZIP.

My ultimate goal is to integrate it into Jupyter.
