Right now, I have a patch (wip) to implement XDG_CONFIG_HOME on an opt-in basis. That is, XDG_CONFIG_HOME is used if and only if .jupyter does not exist. This minimizes breakage by ensuring that the change only affects:

  1. New users with XDG_CONFIG_HOME set,
  2. Existing users with XDG_CONFIG_HOME set who explicitly migrate,
  3. Existing users with XDG_CONFIG_HOME set who delete their .jupyter directory for any other reason.

The solution to cases 1/3 is documentation, and I'm willing to update the docs in jupyter/jupyter, and any other locations.

The question is: should the Linux default get set to .config, when it isn't set? This is a more significant change in behavior, but it parallels the existing default of .local/share.

Move jupyter config to XDG_CONFIG_HOME
555be39 
Addresses #17
 - Adds `JUPYTER_CONFIG_DIR` pointing to `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` to `.zshenv`
 - Documents situation around IPython
 - NOte: out-of-the-box XDG support is still an open issue - see:
   jupyter/jupyter_core#185

After reloading the shell (i.e. once `JUPYTER_CONFIG_DIR` is in scope),
one can simply move/rename `~/.jupyter` to `JUPYTER_CONFIG_DIR`.

I think this is now implemented with #292, where we use xdg if it is defined.
