Cool!

That's an important design issue. :-)

PureData.org runs from a SQL storage? Is it appropriate for large files?

I might have a solution... I worked this year on a multilingual architecture 
for Plone. With the precious help of a Plone developer, we enhanced 
I18NLayer alot; in my opinion the final system is better than Linguaplone.

We also developed a reference system as virtual folders called 
"ATCategories". It's not perfect yet, because it's not workflowable, but it 
works with security and reviewers are allowed to categorize submitted 
documents for publication. 

All this is not completely GPL, because my employer just don't get it... :-(

That's exaclty what I did for another web site. But it's too bad, because I 
can't work anymore on this web site and I have to let another programmer 
finish it.

Yep! Isn't Plone great? :-)
