Where would timetable managers (KOrganizer...), group task trackers,

Office?

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"?

We already have Text for dictionaries etc. The section is heavily used and I see no reason for changing it.

I like the "data management" idea, but I am not quite sure if the difference between "data management" and "file management" is clear enough. In some languages these can be considered synonymous (correct me if I am wrong). But if the menu system is to be internationalized some day (posts about this appear in debian-devel from time to time), I guess it is fine.
