Is a Drupal CMS or CmS? II

Hello,

I would like to join some of the previous discussions - this topic may also belongs to "pre-install" questions (forgive me:)

I have found that Drupal has strong taxanomy features - i.e. organizing content, but what if I want to organize objects at first?

For example - I would like to define my own objects and assign their attributes - e.g. images with attributes [title,date,event]; reports with attributes [title,reporter,subject] ...

Doing this, every new thing in the CMS would fall in the hierarchy of the defined existing objects. Can Drupal do this?

and my second question, still very important, is about consistency - could you add comments to Sadian's "cry" below? Is there any chance that I will "organize and present" the content of my library's website without being driven insane?

thank you very much for your help

I have a serious love / hate relationship with drupal. IMHO its the best CMS out there in many ways. I love its flexibilty and modularity.

I would just love to upgrade and stay current with drupal to have all of the latest and greatest, but at the rate that things change in this community and with all of the documentation that I'm sure is great (but doesn't ever help to solve any of my issues), I believe that i'd have to work on upgrading my site full time 40 hours a week just to keep up considering the custom modifications that had to be made to accomodate my needs.

My problem is that its not enough to know PHP/Perl - you also need to know the specifics about the hooks and functions that make drupal work and I have had a hard time working around them to get what I need done. I usually end up having to interpret someone elses relatively uncommented code to figure out who is doing what!

Keep up the good work, please don't mis-understand! I love drupal! but it drives me INSANE!!
