I'd put all the utilities back together in the same category.

For the first category, instead of "Persistent" we could use "Data",
meaning, those classes are mainly used to hold the data in our apps
(and indexes also hold data).

I think it is very important for the newbie to know right away whether
a certain class is persistent or not, because that is an important
clue about how it should be used. I just don't think that distinction
should be made in the name of the category, but in each class. For
example:

* Components
  * Data
        o grok.Application [persistent]
        o grok.Model [persistent]
        o grok.Container [persistent]
        o grok.Indexes [persistent]
  * Utility
        o grok.GlobalUtility
        o grok.LocalUtility [persistent]
        o grok.Site [persistent]
  * Adapter
        o grok.Adapter
        o grok.MultiAdapter
        o grok.Annotation
  * View
        o grok.View
        o grok.JSON
        o grok.XMLRPC
        o grok.Traverser
        o grok.PageTemplate
        o grok.PageTemplateFile
  * Form
        o grok.Form
        o grok.AddForm
        o grok.EditForm
        o grok.DisplayForm
  * Security
        o grok.Permission
        o grok.Role

Cheers,
