Very cool attack on the problem.
I've been working on ideas for managing filesystems and tools for thought for a while off and on, it's starting to coalesce into a set of design ideas as well as prototypes.
What I won't do is set up a filesystem: I don't think that adds value to me; it mostly sounds technically complex and hard to figure out. And, I think that driving the whole business through manual tagging is a lost cause. Manual tagging can be _useful_, but actual attempts to derive semantic knowledge will be _more_ useful. I have many thousands of documents - manual tagging ain't gonna happen.
I need _semantic_ search and _semantic_ cross-referencing; something like a Xanadu or a (much better) wiki/hypertext system.
