Thanks a lot for your work!

I am not an active user of your package, but I recall a detailed video
by Prof. Kitchin where he discussed some of the use cases, improvements,
and "wishes" about emacs-jupyter:

Hope it helps.

Also, it appears that Jupyter is getting a lot of traction in research
community and it is distributed via GPL-compatible license (modified BSD
license). I believe that we should consider including the Org-related
part to Org core if the rest can be distributed via ELPA. WDYT?

Best,
