+Well, right now, but this may take time :)

+I must confess that I am not very thrilled by the idea of group, as this
+will lead to 
+1) bike shedding
+2) changes all over the place
+
+Do people think "I need to find a web application" or do they are more
+"I need to find a mail client, a bug tracker" ? I would think the later.
+
+In which case, we need 1 group, and several sub groups.
