Library/5x10000s Problem

The Library 5 * ten thousands problem:

How do we keep track of

10,000 files for 10,000 users on 10,000 pages for 10,000 years.

Note: these numbers are approximate, but will guide our thinking on this problem until we have a solution. I think there may be 10,000 ways. And only a few good ones.

We don't want to spend 10,000 hours figuring this out, so it would be best to enlist some experts.

Notes, Theory

We are still defining the problem. "Projects, Parts, Arts, and Docs" is pithy, but I don't know what it means.

This is an information science problem, and a social networking problem.
