IS there a way to see the customer wishlists that are generated by the customer? Both public and private? or either for that matter?

The only way I know to do this is to go to the Wishlist page on your site and enter the letter "a".  It brings up all of the public wishlists.  I haven't found a way to view private wishlists.  My old cart had a way to view them through store admin so I could look them over and make suggestions, etc.  I would really like to see AC overhaul the wishlist and make it a true gift registry.

I am with you Heather. Beyond that, it should also allow visitors to configure 'quick reorder' lists for htose who commonly fulfil the same order over and over (which happens for our cusotmers)
