Hi,

I have worked on jupyterlab last year.

I don't think it's that big ; notice that the JS team is to be involved
too : the Python part is a piece of cake, with good developers.

The JS part is where the real, deep, pain is.

Here is (a quick translation) of what my personal notes on the matter
are -- they might not be up to date since I haven't worked on it since
november :

BEGIN

- nbconvert needs a more recent nbsphinx ;
- nbsphinx wants a more recent ipywidgets ;
- ipywidgets wants jupyterlab ;
- jupyterlab needs many JS pieces :
  * I can get the following going: coreutils, settingregistry, statedb,
nbformat, observables, rendermime-interfaces, mathjax2, metapackage,
pdf-extension ;
  * for ui-components, typestyle would be needed ;
  * for vdom, @nteract/transform-vdom would be needed ;
  * for vega5-extension, vega-embed is needed ;
- for typestyle, csstype and freestyle are needed.

END

Notice that I initially wanted to update nbconvert, which got me to
look into nbsphinx, which got me to... etc : I took notes as I went
along, and simplified them as I managed to get things in.

I think I stopped after I got lumino at the beginning of november 2020,
for various reasons. Now perhaps I could resume, in which case some
coordination will be needed to avoid duplicate efforts.

Cheers,

JP
