Awesome! Sounds great. Take your time and do it well.

FWIW, I think people would really appreciate a category mechanism which
allowed them to assign more than one category/label to items instead of the
current mutually exclusive mechanism, and the ability to search for them in
combinations. Something that would let you assign "Brochures" and "Widget
Corp" to a file, and it would turn up in searches for all "Brochures" items
and searches for all "Widget Corp", but you could configure a search to find
only Widget Corp brochures if that's what you wanted. You do the categories
and I'll provide the searching. :-)

Should I pay a visit to Radar or is this already in the plan? ;-)
