Category renaming rationales

Renaming 'base' to 'internal core'

'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.

Renaming 'Preference dialog' to 'Preference Options'

Under windows, it is called the 'Options' dialog, not 'Preferences'.

categories for internals start with lowercase

Appears less friendly, so non-developers are less likely to choose it: 'internal core', 'libical'.

Renaming 'help documentation' to 'web pages/documentation'

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.
