I've noticed one oddity, which is if I go one of the citable URLs like

and then browse away to another section/repository/etc the URL

in the browser's address bar does not update. You can be looking

at repository B, but the address bar URL still says repository A.

(This was one reason I stuck a redirect in my prototype).

Do you think this going to be easy to fix, or should we revert
to the redirect trick to avoid this 'stale' URL problem?

Separately, but perhaps related, it would be nice if via the

search or otherwise, the new URLs were automatically used -

that would be slightly easier than copying it from the text of

the page.

However, this is already functional enough to start sharing

direct links. Once this goes live, you'll have to brief the

whoever writes the new tool alerts for Twitter to use it :)

I see the new citable URLs are already in use on the wiki
(but not yet working as the live ToolShed doesn't have this
update yet):
