Sure - as far as I know, there's no standardised mimetype for IPython notebooks, and it's really not clear what it should be called, but it would be best if we can agree on it. I'll raise it in the dev meeting tomorrow.

      Thomas - I have no clue about any MIME type standard, so I sent this email to the IPython team (you!) for clarification !
lets figure something out.. we have a very capable guy who is trying things, so I suspect we can find something good. 
This disk does go to quite a few people who pay attention, so I humbly suggest this is an opportunity for IPython to set a standard or two with the MIME type and desktop things..   thanks!  -Brian

      It looks like that would mean trying to open notebooks in the Qt console, which wouldn't work. 

Incidentally, I use the mimetype text/x-ipynb for notebooks in nbopen (https://github.com/takluyver/nbopen ), but I just made it up myself. Is application/x-ipythonnotebook established, or just something your project picked?
