Move jupyter-server-ydoc in this organization

[fcollonval]

Problem

A target for 4.0.0 is to extract collaboration feature of JupyterLab core (jupyterlab/jupyterlab#13726).

The rational behind it:

• RTC final implementation breaks lots of hypothesis on content management by the server
  • Needs to use a file IDs service to track file (which can be incompatible with custom ContentsManager)
  • File content and deltas are served by a server extension connected to clients by websockets - the content REST API is not longer used (especially save are not triggered by the client but by the server extension).
  • Introducing a server extension makes it harder to implement pure front-end alternative for JupyterLite (using webRTC)
• Collaboration stays optional and avoid installing unneeded server extensions.

The remaining question is where to place the extracted code.

Proposed Solution

The logic seems to move the code in a repository within this organization as it comes from core JupyterLab and it is officially supported by the JupyterLab development team. But as it interacts directly with an existing server extension, I'ld like to propose moving the code in that server extension repository (to avoid repository explosion) and to move that repository from jupyter-server to jupyterlab organization.

cc @jupyterlab/jupyterlab-council what do you think?

I don't have very strong feelings about which org the repo is in.

Moving the repo to the jupyterlab organization sounds good.

[fcollonval]

A consensus to move the repository in jupyterlab organization was reached during the weekly meeting.

A separate discussion about that package being shipped by default with JupyterLab 4.0.0 is happening there

The repository is now in the jupyterlab org:
