I like this schema.  It will help us to organize content and will greatly
help when referring back to stuff.  My main question is how would these
things interact with our Subversion repositories and with versioning?

This sounds fine -- I think that we should probably have a "Technical
Reports" section and a "Useful Resources" section.

I'm in favor of this as long as we can integrate it with our current
version control system.  Ideally, I would like to see this information
automatically update to the website, but we may still be a bit away from
that yet.

What do others think?
