The tutorials are not clear for a novice
It seems that your tutorials mostly miss the mark (at least for me). I was really interested in SeaHorse, I was able to run the first regression tutorial, saw the gears spin, but don't see any results. All I can do is download the workflow. There are various modules in the workflow, but no description of what they do or why they are there. There are lots of other modules in the toolbox, but no real indication of how to use them. Under regression, there are lots of variations, again with no description. Going to the Documentation link it threw…

Adding 7z compression/decompression tools
Data needed to be uploaded/download may be huge. 7z format is widely used and one of the best existing formats fo far.
Adding support for this compression format would be great4 votes -

I would like to see the ability to display Spatial Data on a map. Points/Polygons/Locations/Distances/Clustering etc.
There needs to be a service that can display large data sets on a map. This service would be similar in nature to the application QGIS. The elements that should be able to be displayed would be point locations/polygons/line of points etc. Colors should be able to be assigned to different types of data based on criteria specified. An example is attached.

Support for GPU computation
As Tensorflow is accesible through Jupyter notebooks it could be great to have GPU support to train Deep Learning models

Support for .gz files
Is it possible to allow for uploading .gz files? I have some relatively large files that I would think would want to be uploaded in a .gz or zipped format, and then have a script that can unzip and work with them from there. Thanks.

The black bar on the top takes a lot of screen estate.
Have the thick black bar at the top hidable so that screen estate can be conserved.

I'd like to see video lectures within a notebook so I can type and run code while I watch lectures
Every online course on programming tells me to download a notebook and run it on Continuum.io (Jupyter). Why can't I watch a video and practice coding at the same time? I'd like to be able to have a notebook open so I can try coding while I watch a video lecture. Better yet, there are many meetup recordings out there on programming, data science, and big data. I wish I could rewatch them with a notebook open -- all in the same interface.

Allow direct linking to an existing notebook
A good enhancement would be to allow direct linking to an existing notebook. Instead of automatically creating a duplicate, with a suffix, why not just open the existing notebook.

Allow folder synchronization with Google Drive
It would be great if we could selectively sychronize folders with google drive / dropbox as it would allow us to automatically backup the code as well as the data. In addition it would be possible to synchronize these with local devices which in turn can allow us to work on the code in local machines which are running in areas with poor internet connectivity.

ftp/sftp support to upload/download data
It would be great if you could handle the /resources folder also with a ftp client / your favorite text editor with ftp connection

Julia
I've been working with Julia (and Jupyter) for over a year. It's pretty robust and Julia is kinda addictive: certain things can be written quite elegantly, and it's hard to rephrase in other languages. Spark integration with Julia is still early stage...
I would like to see support for Julia in the Data Scientist Workbench. This may support development on Julia/Spark as well.

Thank you for your suggestion. We are hearing more and more good things about Julia. Sicne there is interest in the community we need to see how we can add it. Just have to see where it fits in the priority and resources.
This is Feature 908 in our backlog. -
File and Directory management
Add basic file/directory management, so that we can easily create/delete directories on the workbench and move/copy files and directories around.

Notify me when my workbench finishes awakening from hibernation
I'd like an e-mail or something to tell me when my account is back up from hibernation, because it takes a long time to wake up (30min).
