I have put together a preliminary test script (and have
found and fixed a couple of bugs, in the process).

arget=jtrace.ijt

I may think of some more tests later.

Note: the wiki does not appear to deal with conflict 
resolution (or versioning) for attached files:

I have to delete a file before I can upload another of
the same name.  I won't know what's in the file I'm 
deleting if someone else has uploaded a modified version.

There's no upload timestamp displayed next to the file.  
This implies that the system will not warn me if someone
else has replaced the file since I've downloaded the
web page.

It's also somewhat disappointing that the "view" option
does not work with .ijs files.

This would make collaboration using this file upload 
interface somewhat tricky.  And I'm not sure if I
have any good ideas here.  But, in principle, the
wiki could support versioning and conflict resolution
for most plain-text file formats.  Perhaps there's
a whitelist of supported file formats, where the
wiki does not treat files as opaque?

Thanks,
