<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have quite a specific content-type requirement
for my site and have been pulling my hair out thinking about how I could achieve
it with drupal - so I turn to this support list, if not for a solution, then for
at least a pointer or two to push me nearer an answer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a site where I want members to be able to
enter information about hundreds or even thousands of cities. It's not relevant
exactly what type of information they are writing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For example, a member creates a new X content type
(this is the big question) and puts the title Dallas, Texas and writes a
paragraph or two about it. Other members can rate that entry or attach comments
to it...or, very importantly, add their own entry, which would have equal weight
to the first entry. Ultimately, tags could be attached to each entry to allow
some type of sorting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Look here at a screenshot mock-up I've made to give
some idea of what I'm talking about.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The original idea called for a wiki where each city
would be a wiki page, but we're now veering more towards having seperate entries
(not editable by other users) by each member, to which comments can be added. So
these are almost nodes within nodes. We considered some type of views/og
solution but is it feasible to have 10,000 views or groups? Would views allow me
to gather together, dynamically, all "entries" on "Dallas, Texas" and seamlessly
switch (using an auto-complete text box perhaps) to Houston, Texas or to any of
10,000 other towns? Would $arg help me there??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there anything that already exists on drupal
that can help me towards a solution? I've already thought about book pages,
forum pages, groups for each city and a few other possibilities besides, but
nothing seems to fit. There could well be some useful modules out there I am
unaware of.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance for any guidance you can
offer.</FONT></DIV>
