hu? how will the plugins tell the framework that someguy was moved to another 
group for example ? or add a new guy ?

i know it's ugly ! that's why i proposed something i thought better... 
anyways, there are other issues that need to be resolved before i'm happy

may be after that i'll feel ok with doing my own tracking :-)

cheers, and thanks.
