Many thanks for working this!

Fortunately, Debian has now a current jQuery 1, again. And
jQuery 3 in experimental. Thanks to Antonio Terceiro! Bootstrap
is a recent version anyway. So it should be easy to just use
Debians packages.

I'm not sure about this, but it looks like the Bokeh source is a
huge directory of coffeescript files, while the resulting
bokeh.js is not the source code. So build is: 1. coffee -> js
2. concat all js. Maybe its possible without grunt, just like
Antonio did with jQuery?

I would just leave out the tests for now. Bokeh is a huge beast
even without them. Let's go step by step.

Yes, that has been decided in Heidelberg, but I'm not sure about
the current state. Who can comment on this?

Yes, but please fix the long description. It starts with
"Abstract Rendering takes the opposite approach:" which confused
me :~)

If blaze is only needed for the tests, I suggest to postpone it.
(What is blaze anyway?)

Cheers
