As Josh pointed out, phpwebhosting will replace filemanager in the next 
release.  From what you've said about your app, there is a lot of overlap.  The 
current system is tied into the ACL as well.  However, the current system 
doesn't have:

* Categories
* Title
* Description (it has a short comment)
* Search

Categories, title, and description are all app-independent, and should go in 
the VFS (Virtual File System).  Search could be put in the API as well, but 
would have to be very flexible (able to perform all different types of 
searches).

If you want your app to be extensible, it needs to use the phpGW API, which in 
this case involves the VFS.  You are certainly welcome to submit patch(es) for 
the VFS that add the extra functionality you need.  You might also consider 
adding your changes into phpwebhosting, since the framework is already in place 
and in sync with the current CVS.

The VFS is in phpgwapi/inc/class.vfs_sql.inc.php, and there are full developer 
docs in phpgwapi/doc/vfs.
