I have one catalog for 2007, one for 2008 and one for everything 
before I started LR.


>Also should I just let it catalog the RAW and the JPGs?

I only catalog RAW.  Once you have RAW files and have gone through LR 
editing, it's a simple task to export anything as jpegs or tiffs, so 
I only do that for specific jobs or projects and delete them after 
they've been used.  If you have unlimited storage space you might 
consider saving jpeg or tiff files that you've done a lot of work on 
in PS, but edits in LR are automatically saved.

All of your "develops" or "edits" are saved in LR so you don't need 
to add jpegs.  You can always go back to the original raw or any edit 
in its history and export a jpeg or a tiff in whatever size and color 
space you need.


>If I add more photos to a folder, does LR2 update the catalog automatically?

Yes, you can set it to do that.  I don't because I rename them first 
in Breezebrowser.
