These are the bugs/limitations that I'm running into:

-- I can't easily move around notebooks by hand because they are
stored in numbered subdirectories (as opposed to named text files)
-- URL links to notebooks aren't stable (downloading, deleting, and re-
uploading a notebook changes its URL)
-- publishing notebooks requires manual interaction with each and
every one of them
-- uploading of large backup files isn't working reliably and there is
no command line tool for doing this outside the server

Are you saying you can't reproduce these bugs/limitations?

(There is also some bug somewhere that occasionally corrupts and
duplicates multiple notebooks under some conditions, but that's
secondary to me since bugs like that are always going to exist.)

Fixing these would require changing the way notebooks are stored on
disk, the way notebooks are named, and the way URLs are generated.  I
understood you to say that you consider the current layout of the Sage
notebook directory to be consistent and correct, so I'm assuming you
wouldn't accept changes that alter it.  Did I not understand you
correctly?

I'll try to find some workaround and fixes external to Sage, since I
can't really take on the task of changing the notebook representation
(it's too central to Sage and you don't want to change it anyway).
I'll share whatever I come up with.

Tom
