Hi Juri

Sorry for answering so late. I have been away from the PC for a while.

For my purpose, groups would mainly consist of teams, i.e. real people's
names. Such teams could come into existence, vanish and change quite
frequently. So it would be best, not to always define them in a complex
Lisp expression in .emacs. I could think of buffer specific definitions
as one of the most effective possibilities:

#+METAGROUPS: (PR-Team(John Mary Sven)) (Website-Taskforce(Tom Fred Mary))

I think John's group(s) should always be matched when John is searched
for, similar to tag inheritance.

Thanks for trying (I wish I could)

Sven
