  11. Discussion • As e-Clips gets bigger, how can we maintain easy access to content? • E.g., dealing with the long list of themes • Would a more formal metadata structure be helpful? • Or should we adopt a tagging model or let users rank clips? • Should e-Clips remain a free resource? • Is there a threshold of size, service, or commerce that would argue for a different hosting model?
