How do you categorize your learning catalog? Do you leverage Category/Topic communities?

Summary:

Category and Topic communities do not seem to be translatable/reportable (OTBI) at the moment which is inconvenient for a global solution like the one we're implementing for our client. While flexfield seems to be the best alternative at the moment, does anyone have best practices to share on using communities, or any other solution.
