Could you give me a concrete example (without giving away any  
secrets, of course!) of an action that might belong in more than one  
project? I'm finding it difficult to think of any of my actions that  
belong in more than project, but that might because you're using  
projects in a different way than me. We've discussed various ways to  
handle classifying data on the mailing list and forum, including  
subprojects, tags and so on, but I'm still thinking about the best  
way to handle these things. To be honest, the database issues aren't  
as tricky as the way you actually display the data and allow the user  
to interact with it.

cheers,
