Stable URLs seem sensible to me. In the context of Google, this publish/share is probably OK, as I doubt poorly published documents would been seen by anyone as a reflection on Google - no more than poor web sites found with Google are seen as a poor reflection on Google.

Nice would be URL's like http://server/demonstations/number_theory http://server/demonstations/linear_algebra http://server/demonstations/plotting in a similar way to what you suggested above with http://server/pub/stein 2) Rename Published -> "Globally Shared" 3) Rename Shared -> "Privately Shared" I don't see anything particularly wrong with "Globally shared" being publicly viewable without logging in, but as long as the front page makes it clear these might not be good examples. So have the front page look like * Sign up for a new Sage Notebook account * Browse Sage demonstrations (no login required) * Browse Globally Shared worksheets (Warnings, these may be bad examples) If someone comes along to a Sage server and sees a bunch of tracebacks and other error messages, it does not exactly inspire interest.
