Well, right now, but this may take time :)

I must confess that I am not very thrilled by the idea of group, as this
will lead to
1) bike shedding
2) changes all over the place
Do people think "I need to find a web application" or do they are more
"I need to find a mail client, a bug tracker" ? I would think the later.
In which case, we need 1 group, and several sub groups.
