[Sigia-l] Scaling content inventories

[Donna Maurer]

I have a feeling (and only a bit of data to support it), that once you get 
over some number, the content is likely to have more consistency 
than my 5000 different page Intranet, and may be able to be listed 
out as a block (eg if there are minutes for weekly meetings for the 
past 3 years, you probably don't need to list all of them).

There are some times when you just don't need to know every page - 
in my case I did because it all has to either move to a new system or 
be deleted - I can't miss anything.

Boy this was a time consuming process, but boy it was worthwhile.
