   I have two questions for all of you out there.

   First, are anybody ever configuring their member groups from the
   settings dialog (in contrast to right clicking in the annotation
   dialog)? I really hate the member group config in the settings
   dialog, and want to delete it, if there are no big objections.

   Second. Prior to the previous release one of the translators
   brought to my attention that "member group" is a weird name, so I'd
   like to come up with a new name for it.  What I need are name for
   these items:

   The collection of all items for a given category. Currently I call
   this a category, so Persons, Locations and Keywords would all be
   categories. (I'm like this name, but category also seems to be a
   good name below).

   A name for the items that has sub items (currently I call these
   groups), thus USA would be a group as it has a sub item Nevada.

   A name for the leafs in the member groups (currently I call these
   members in the context of member groups). Nevada would be a member.

   The later two would conveniently be called Categories and Sub
   Categories, but this word would conflict the other use of the word
   category.

   Any thoughts?

Seems to me that this is simply a hierarchy.  Rather than trying to
describe the individual levels of the hierarchy, why not simply
generalize it into a hierarchy?
