[drupal-support] dealing with a large vocabulary

[Anisa]

The document team is busy.  ;)  Go bug the development team.

The list I am thinking of is really really big.  Arranged 
alphabetically, it could get anywhere from 10 -  30 terms a letter. 

If I were to stack them like cards, I would probably divide them like I 
do ACO, in groups of 3 letters, although some letters have more series 
than others.  Or by letters.

Would each pile of cards be a seperate *vocabulary* or a seperate 
subsection IN a vocabulary?

Anisa.
