I'm looking for alternatives to use for organizing my files until WinFS
is released. Until now I've flip-flopped between organizing based on
categories and file types.

I wrote a PHP/mySQL script to organize my bookmarks in the way that I
would now like to organize my files; each bookmark is associated with
all categories that it fits into and bookmarks can be found by matching
one or more categories. This helps in any case where I might forget
what category first came to mind when storing the file since I can
usually remember at least one of them.

I'd like to organize my files in the same manner. From what I
understand, WinFS will make file storage similar to this but I would
like to have something to use now. Is there anything out there today
that is similar? I'm tempted to begin working on my own application
but I fear by the time I have it completed WinFS will be released and
all the work will go to waste.

Thanks

Dave
