My suggestion is not going to help too much. And I risk sounding like the
guy who believes that following data flow to death or something like that.
Your problem is not so much the tool as a need to categorize and structure
your content.
You need to audit your content, break it up into generic types, define
standard structures and relationships, and then go looking for a tool that
will help you tie it all together and throw it at your users.
