Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated that you've taken the time to outline the problems with implementing this. With regard to the possible approaches, if you get an opportunity to take another look at this I think it would be more useful to unglue the collection access settings (with a default of all the same) as that makes things much more flexible from the user perspective - eg
1)  You might want to put all of your 1st year pages together in a collection, all 2nd year pages in another, etc so that it's easy for you to review what you did each year - but you don't necessarily want to share all pages when you need to give someone access to something.
2) I use collections when I setup templates for students to use, but don't want them to have full access to all template pages at the same time (we release pages as the course builds) - so I currently have to decouple the collection after I move it to the resource group that the students will have access to, so that I can set different dates for availability.
Regards, Gordon.

Title:
  Add pages to multiple collections

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Feature request.
  It would be useful to have the ability to add pages to multiple collections rather than having them restricted to only one collection. This would enable the same content to be used in different sets of resources without having to copy it multiple times (and update changes in several places). 
  Case Example - 'how to' pages on using specific software might be added to several different collections depending on target audiences, such as staff / student pages, or thematic (eg offfice software) collections.
  Thanks, Gordon.
