I would say ``project''.
It is a matter of perception, it depends on how you see it. If you are focused
on what you are doing, on your target, then it is a project. If you focused on
who is doing this project, then you are talking about a group.
WHO <-- --> WHAT
DOERS <-- --> TARGET
But, maybe, there is nothing wrong with both of them? Maybe sometimes it is
appropriate to talk about group, and sometimes -- about a project?
If we can have only one, then I think the project is a primary idea. The
groups form themselves around the projects. (However, sometimes already
existing group decides to do some project). And one more thing: when only one
developer works on his project, he can hardly be called ``a group'', but his
project is still called ``a project''.
Savane is primarily a project-management software; something like meetup.com or
yahoo's groups could be mentioned as an example of group-management hosts.
P.S. Mathieu, I presume you did not receive my last e-mail (with some questions
about patches to GNA-related software)? I sent it 3-4 days ago.

Summary: Choice between "Groups" and "Projects"
Original Submission: In Savane, currently many pages refers alternatively to
"Groups" or "Project", to name exactly the name thing.
We should decide the one we want to keep.
- Project: More strict sense than Group, that may be unappropriate in some
cases (some Group we have at Gna cannot really be called project in a sensible
way, like most organizational groups).
Alberto Aimar, leader of LCG/SPI Savannah, is in favor of this option.
- Group: maybe a bit vague (which is both an advantage and an inconvenience).
It has one clear advantages, many pages, scripts are named with the string
"group", most of functions in Savane use the string group.
I'm personally in favor of this option, but I wont oppose to the other option.
I'd to hear your opinions, if any.
