But you don't have to know who is the subproject or team leader (they 
can change).

Right.

I don't get it. The same person can have different roles. Now the unique 
identifier is namee + nickname + email.  Nickname will be used for 
messaging in annotations.

It is on the Details tab.

Yes, but I don't see a solution, but moving either the team 
configuration or the event configuration out of the project settings 
dialog.

Messaging. If there is an annotation addressed to a member with nickname 
"jens", Quanta has to know if you are jens or not.

Well, about it's real usage, you should ask Eric. ;-) But of course, 
this is moving target right now (I'm working on it), so it's really 
better to check other bugs.
BTW, I've updated the handbook as well.
