And mine - also that they be easily updateable from some kind of script - in particular so that the issues list can be kept up-to-date. I have tools that add links into the email archive for each issue, so can often get several revisions a day (for the hyper-active bpel tc). At present we cope with this using a separately-hosted "working copy" (ftp upload from perl script) and upload (using the normal web interface) to the TC pages once a week or so. Also concur on the other points made - the absence of a tc->public back link I find irritating too. Having different URLs for a publically-available document accessed publically and accessed as a member complicates things sometimes.
