Re: [DISCUSS] Future of http://zeppelin-project.org

[moon soo Lee <mo...@apache.org>]

Thanks Greg for the feedbacks.

I have created series of issues (ZEPPELIN-1117 and sub tasks).
And just create a pullrequest to migrate live demo feature on the website.

https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/1316

Any further feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks,
moon
