Alexandre, Yes, what you are reading is old documentation. The core codebase supports placing a collection in more than one community. But the user interfaces do not and the behavior may be unexpected. This is an area of DSpace that was never completely implemented. I would avoid attempting to add a a collection to more than one community.
Mapping items into multiple collections is probably a bit more stable, although personally, I'm not sure I've ever seen a valid reason to want to do it. Its always been my opinion that the urge to start mapping items across collections means that your overloading the meaning of the Community/Collection hierarchy for your organization and treating it as a classification scheme rather than a tool to manage submitter and review workflow. Note, The introduction of Discovery/Solr to DSpace as a search solution had the intent of providing the repo developers with a tool to create views over DSpace content that are not "Community/Collection" centric. Though this is still in its adolescence, eventually navigation over DSpace content by a means other than a community/collection hierarchy will lead to a better separation of management and presentation features and less need to attempt multiple item mapping in the first place.
