Hi Jesper,

ups, categories (members, groups...) can be configured in the annotation 
dialog? I didn't know that ;-)
Until now I just used the settings to change my categories.
Another solution might be, to let the user use the BrowserWidget to 
change the categories, according to bookmark manager in e.g. Firefox. 
Ordering the categories using the mouse by drag and drop would be much 
more intuitive I think. To avoid that categories are reordered 
accidentally, it should be possible to lock the trees.

Just brainstorming:
collection of all items for a given category: category type
member groups: category
members of a group: category

Cheers,
Christoph
