Do we want to rename "Privacy groups" to "Access lists" and "Forums" to "Groups" in Hubzilla 7.0?

The general usage around the fediverse lately seems to be Groups for what Hubzilla currently refers to as Forums. I think Friendica still calls them "forums" though. So changing Forums to Groups makes sense IMO.

As for Privacy Groups, my suggestion is Circles. The term was used in G+ for essentially the same thing; to share certain content with a select group of people. It sounds, to me, less tech-oriented and more general audience friendly.

Nextcloud uses the term circles in the sane way. I like it.

a forum (or in future maybe, gyro) is a place, a home, too where other people can subscribe to receive and post messages to discuss, like a mailing list. The support channel is a forum.

A privacy group is what you said: a standard selection of connections I can add to the ACL in one step, without having to add them all individually each time., e.g. all my family members, all my colleagues, my closest friends.
