 == Overview ==
- The idea is to have groups of page elements in the model. Selecting page elements is one thing and creating a group of the selected elements is the thing that this task is about. Grouped elements should be persisted and restored when opening the book. A page element should be part of no group or one group only - page elements cannot be part of different groups.

+Every book view has a work area related to it. It must contain the corresponding page, as well as the book extras, attached to it. Pages can contain frames or groups of frames. Extras will have similar abilities in the near future. The groups should be a method for organizing frames and other groups for easy manipulation - for example, we can group several frames to move/resize them together, change their background, etc. If we go further, groups should contain frames and/or other groups. Grouping 2 elements (groups an/or frames) together means making a group, containing both of them. Ungrouping of group is detaching its top-level elements from each other. Groups should not contain both frames and stickies (for example), so it would be better if book extras were at the same grouping level as the page itself. ''To be continued..''
