I would concur. Currently there is one tile validated by a new user that I've picked up making a few mistakes and I'd dearly love to find which tile they validated just to go over it again.
The other points I would agree with also. Note to Scott at the bottom of the project page is a link to github. If you add these to the issues tab then there is less likely hood they will be forgotten. TM3 is a big change and anytime you mess with an operational user interface things don't always go smoothly. A lot of it is very good but there are one or two points that could do with a bit of attention.
