Where would timetable managers (KOrganizer...), group task trackers,
etc. be sorted, both one-person-standalone, group-wise-networked, and
connect-me-to-my-palm, or allinone?
I guess dictionaries, thesauri etc. are best in databases, but maybe the
name should somehow give a hint to that; to me "databases" sounds much
like mysql, M$Access and all that stuff I never use and know nothing
about, and I think we would serve our users to give the section a more
"end user" friendly name. What about "data management"?
