I hope this is the right place to ask this question -- this is my first
mailing list! :)

I'm evaluating Plone as a possible content management system for my
religious clipart and activities database driven website.  I have a couple
of thousand images and PDF files that will be tagged with hundreds of
possible tags.  The images are already tagged in my existing db, and I'm
currently linking the images to other content parts of the site using a
relational database.

The reason Plone appeals to me more than Drupal is the "collections"
functionality.  I can have tons of collections, add my image, file or page
in one place, and then have it appear immediately in dozens of collections
without me linking them by hand.  However, since I am hoping to allow users
to post files also again so I'm no longer doing it by hand, I am afraid that
having hundreds of categories may be too overwhelming to the users.

Is it reasonable to have hundreds of possible categories in Plone?

Also if anyone has any experience with the Collage module, I'd love to hear
it:  http://plone.org/products/collage

Thanks,
Jenny Smith

Interesting.

I'd have to think about this. Plone as-a-platform could be made to do this
(see http://www.palladion.com/home/tseaver/obzervationz/2008/my_two_cents
for
a definition of platform) but, should you use Plone to do this is the real
question. Are their better alternatives, etc. I'm not sure...

Hmmm, you might try the plone-users mailing list for that, see http://plone.org/support.
