I added a page to the wiki for coordinating @interact suggestions, and linked to it from the demo page:
http://www.sagemath.org:9001/interactSuggestions I am still figuring out what I can do, what I can work around, and what is a real problem, so I think it is too early to start making trac tickets. The demo page has helped me a lot. Hopefully more people will add to it and we can get some consensus on what needs to be done next. So far I have been able to work around the issue raised above, but it has required some extra thought and redesign. -M.
