Give users a way to browse their tags (their folksonomy) to find files, content, etc. in their site (perhaps across sites).  The tag cloud should give users indication of how often tags have been used (ex. font size indicates relative frequency).

Smart Paging (aka Pager) 

Allow users to break up long lists of items into pages.  They should be able to decide if they want paging and how many per page.  There is a paging widget in Sakai currently that could use some improvement.

File Manager

Rather than views described above is there a component that includes more robust functionality like search,  add & delete files, etc?

...

A user might want to explicitly share a folder or files with a specified set of groups or individual users, deciding along the way whether these others should only be able to view the shared content, or also be allowed to edit it. A site containing these users shouldn't need to be a prerequisite.

"Smart" Page Navigator

Allow users to break up long lists of items into pages.  They should be able to decide if they want paging and how many per page.

Sakai has page navigation now.  The default for how many items to show on a page varies.  How many makes sense depends on context, how many total items, what type of items, etc.  The idea here is to make this navigator remember the users last setting (across sessions).  That way they set if for what makes sense given the current situation and it is persistent.  As things change for them they simply change the setting to meet current needs and again it's persistent until they need to change it again.  Currently this is a "one size fits all" default and many users have to change it every time the visit a particular page.
