Feature.  Again the sharing model of OASIS mismatches the design of the app
somewhat.  Any object shared with general membership will show up on My
Groups and My Calendar.  Perhaps a feature request for a pref to include/not
include that stuff?

Same situation.  In a less open org, this works fine since shared objects
are fairly rare.  Feature request I guess.

In the app's nomenclature we use "member" to mean "person on the roster"
which also equates with "on the email list."  There are many nomenclature
issues like this in the app, as words like "member" and "participant" are
often semantically loaded in different orgs.  Feature request:  allow
labeling of all terminology (group, member, "person on the roster," etc.).
(we do hear this a lot, and some day it will be available...)
