  Description     : Data Scientist Notebook

Notebook-style development provides a more exploratory way to write
code than with traditional IDEs. Notebook interfaces are comprised of
a series of code blocks, called cells, which can stand alone or act in
unison. The development process is one of discovery, where a developer
experiments in one cell, then can continue to write code in a
subsequent cell depending on results from the first. Particularly when
analyzing large datasets, this conversational approach allows
researchers to quickly discover patterns or other artifacts of the
data.

Beaker has been successfully deployed in several community settings,
and as such fits well within Debian as a useful service to our users.

Language for backend is java, and only for frontend javascript.

Above is a nice introduction to "Notebooks" in general.

I suggest to (perhaps shorten, and) add a section on what makes Beaker
special among Notbooks - i.e. how it differs from ipython-notebook
(already in Debian) and Jupyter and iJulia (not in Debian currently).
From my understanding Beaker is a "wrapper" for ipython, julia, R,
Scala, Nodejs and more (introducing a notebook equivalent of Un*x
"pipes"), and is a competitor to (or argubly successor of)
ipython-notebook, Jupyter and iJulia.

...and will hopefully - if succesfully packaged fast enough - be part of
a project targeted next DebConf: https://wiki.debian.org/ShowMeBox :-D
