Rethinking Content Management
A gallery of community approaches to these questions:
The design implemented during the Cambridge Get-Together, although experimental, reflects some of the more recent thinking
The Image Gallery from Berkeley focuses on image file collections, but its designs are generalizable to other content forms
NYU's vision articulates some of the higher-level goals and user needs that should be met

My Sakai File Manager tackles focused file management at the widget level.
Common themes
separating file management from content presentation
using tagging and other Web 2.0 memes for organization rather than the file/folder hierarchies
lacing together content from remote repositories rather than native Sakai storage
I'm wondering if this is a tool level shift or a service level one (or both)? The CHS is pretty stable, though it could certainly use some clean up.
