if it's not searchable, then we'd have to spend a second life browsing through our first.
Just having the "faces" technology from iPhoto '09 would go a long way towards organizing this record. Have a WiFi enabled device that uses Bonjour to auto-upload when you are at home, and iPhoto can go and index the visual record based on who.
There can also be an "auto-event" splitting based on dramatic changes in lighting. GPS could also be used. An interval where a person is moving across the city would constitute one event, and the interval where they are at one location would constitute another. GPS could also auto-assign names to events, like "Minneapolis Convention Center, October 16, 2009 2:30pm."
