Hey there,

It seems like it should.

I hope that can happen. I don't make edits often, but it's nice when
you can decide to add or change something, log on, do it, and be
done. By the way, thank you for so quickly making the edit.

What's really sad is how small the lists on each of those pages are.

No idea, but I suspect that I'm currently beneath even those, because
I have no editing power whatsoever.

I've been a Launchpad member for 14 years and used to pretty actively
contribute content to the Ubuntu documentation team's efforts, so I'm
not a complete "unknown" to the powers-that-be, but perhaps my more
recent lack of activity changed my status.

Hopefully one of them will jump in with a suggestion on what can be
done about this issue.

If it helps any:
	1. I opened the [4] page and logged in using Ubuntu One.
	2. I opened the [1] page and instead of showing me as being
	logged in, it displayed a "Log in/Register" link.
	3. I  clicked the "Log in/Register" link on [1] and was
	prompted to give my Ubuntu One credentials, which I did.
	4. I successfully refreshed [1] and [4] without being
	unintentionally logged out on either page.
	[interlude]
		It stands to reason that logging out of Ubuntu One on
		[1] should automatically log me out of Ubuntu One on
		[4] (or vice versa). As a result, if I log out of
		Ubuntu One on [1] and then refresh [4], I should no
		longer be logged in on [1] or [4]. Let's try it...
	[/interlude]
	5. I successfully logged out of Ubuntu One on [1].
	6. I refreshed [4]. I was now no longer logged in on [1], but
	still logged in on [4].

Perhaps there's some sort of disconnect between the logging
interface on Ubuntu One and the pages that use it?
