I would like to see the file size of the web pages that the notebook is dishing out be addressed, because I have been on several computers where the public notebooks take much longer to show than on the library computers.

See http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/horizontal32.htm I would also like to see the issue with multiple people using the interactive documentation fixed and also a way to create worksheets where users can use them without changing the sheet nor messing up other user's session with that sheet.
