Sagemath is offering Ipython notebooks on their cloud server. A 
discussion of this new collaboration technology can be found on their 
facebook page.

"IPython Notebooks are now part of the Sagemath Cloud! Start using them 
at https://cloud.sagemath.com. <https://cloud.sagemath.com/> Just make a 
project, click "+New", then click the "IPython" button, or just upload 
and open any ipynb file. This was a huge amount of work, because it was 
necessary to implement synchronization for IPython notebooks; you can 
have multiple people edit a notebook at once, and have multiple 
browsers/browsers tabs viewing the same notebook (which can be useful 
when editing). There's also proper proxy-ing and authentication, which 
was surprisingly difficult to sort out..."

Something else to ponder is using boot2docker to implement a local copy 
of Ipython notebooks for a  mac and windows users.
