The basic use case is allowing different groups to identify collections of 
content they like, or think meets their guidelines (be they usability, 
punctuation, style, pedagogy, or other).

The goals are to let anyone easily review and classify materials, or to 
get that review metadata (e.g., to write a viewer that displays materials 
that have been classified in a certain way). In a related way, we want 
people to identify themselves as part of a group developing a specific
set of materials.

Some contraints: we are willing to have a small bottleneck for group 
creation, but otherwise want groups and individuals to be able to review 
and classify freely.  There may be a default OLPC view of available 
collections by language, but others (a school, a teacher, an individual, 
the World Digital Library) should be able to develop their own views as 
well.
