I have updated the vectorintro (vector/vectorintro.html) in grass64, grass65 and grass7. Attribute management has been changed to Vector object categories and attribute management. Please check for and report any errors/inconsistencies or if the changed description is incomprehensible.

Normalization of data and GIS is a difficult topic. I tend to seperate geometry and data into different tables and join them together by need. This makes it easier to modify the geometry without touching the data or even use different representation forms, e.g. point sizes vs. choroplethe maps.
