If I choose to display group A and set the "recursive" option to 
infinite, I do not get anything (my members are in B and C).

If the "recursive" option worked at all, this would still not allow 
persons to be grouped by their subgroup (and how may I choose manually 
the order of display), then ordered by, e.g., lastname + firstname. The 
current display plugin is much too limited for such requirements. Should 
I implement a new plugin for display purpose?

>>> - a person has a few attributes such as name, address and photograph 
>>> (tt_address seems just fine)

BTW, it would be nice to be able to extend a tt_address record with new 
fields without having to modify the extension, such as mobile phone, 
fax, ... (idea #1)

idea #2: How can I manage the groups in a hierarchical way? In List 
mode, I only see a long list of groups but if I go the way creating a 
group "President" for a function inside a real group, I'll have multiple 
"President" groups, (I tried and it works) how may I "see" that group 
"President" is a function (= subgroup) of group X and not of group Y ? I 
only see it if I edit the record, this is not easy.

idea #3: Assigning groups to a person is useful, but assigning persons 
to a group is too. Or at least, right click on the person and "Send to 
group X/Y"
