I agree - I asked Don about setting up another page at the TC, but it looks
like the only way to add pages to the main Committee page is by uploading a
document or by sending an email. In that case it won't really be a
permanent Errata page. One alternative was to point to a page on our Wiki,
but (to me) that seemed rather too unofficial. If somebody has a suggestion
of how to get a more official looking errata page at the TC, please speak
up... alternatively, if others think a wiki page is appropriate, we could
just do that.

The links from the TC page are for anybody. The internal links within
Eric's email are member only, because that's what the upload-document
function generates.
