Split document into separate document and revision concept, i.e. something like this: documents.create(('type',str), ('project',project)) revisions.create(('filename',str), ('submit',date), ('submitter',users), ('document',documents)) (I'm not sure how you will use 'type', so maybe it should belong to revision.)
