<h3>Category renaming rationales</h3>

<dl>

<dt>Renaming 'base' to 'internal core'</dt>
<dd>
'Components in /calendar/base' is not a coherent category from
either users' or developers' viewpoints.  It holds code that was
created with the idea of it being shared someday --- but for a user
that has used only one product and not the other, there is no way to
know what is shared, let alone what could be shared someday.
/calendar/base also contains code from several different developers
(core objects, gui views and dialogs), so it might not make sense to
make one developer default owner for all of /calendar/base.
</dd>

<dt>Renaming 'Preference dialog' to 'Preference Options'</dt>
<dd>Under windows, it is called the 'Options' dialog, not 'Preferences'.
</dd>

<dt>categories for internals start with lowercase<dt>
<dd>Appears less friendly, so non-developers are less likely to choose it:
'internal core', 'libical'.
</dd>

<dt>Renaming 'help documentation' to 'web pages/documentation'</dt>
<dd>Currently on-line help is managed as a separate project, so
rename category to reflect what it does contain, 
provide a link to the calendarhelp project.  
</dd>
