I see what you mean and I agree with you that a flat hierarchy has
advantages in some/many cases. But what I was talking about doesn't effect
the use of groups in any way.

You can use these hierarchical groups within kimdaba already and that is
how i use them (actually only for locations at the moment). The search
works fine, no matter if the requested item is at the top or deep down the
hierarchy.

What I meant was to simplify the organizing of my groups. As i may use
hierarchical groups i would really like to get a nice way to manage them
and this is IMHO something like a tree-view.

Yes it is. And it actually works in kimdaba. And again, i only want the
tree-view to get an overview of my groups.

i hope it's clearer now what i meant.
