"Exchange" vocabulary

I will use this first case found in the .po file as an example of my argumentation:

1824 Trade with another exchange in the network

I wouldn't use a word which has many and very different meanings in a specification that includes at least 2 of their meanings, specially if they are used recurrently in the app.

You are english native, i've been in england some years, and i never imagined or heard noone saying an exchange for a group of people. I guess we can agree that popularly, exchange for a group is awkardful (:). You are already are giving some examples of synonims of the 'technically correct (as in freedictionary)' "Exchange" for "exchanging group" that could be used instead.

It could rather be as easy as "Groups" (unless it could be maybe confused with "organic groups" if you use that or with groups at 'open atrium' so maybe is not a good one either. Nevertheless i see "Groups", sustainable enough.

It could also be LETS (if you are brave enough :p), or "Local group", "exchanging group",

ot:
"List exchanges" is another example you find at integralces at the second click. ........ i guessed i am gonna find "list historic" but i find "list groups"

This second example from the .po introduces another terminology "mutual credit systems" which i think it is just in that part, so it could be renamed into 'groups' or 'exchanges' or else

1852 Exchange with other mutual credit systems using a ClearingCentral 2 server

And finally i am sending you the full list of lines where "trade" is in. Below all, there's an exchange (offer) from me to you.

I could reorder these from first to last line, think well in a vocabulric rephrasing of all of it in english and do again my catalan translation, which i think still has some other lines to be translated or drupal don't get them correct like:

/?q=transact

which is all in english regardless of my site having a default catalan lang. Also i.e. the admin menu options (but this is not important).

However, in exchange (as in offer :p ) (that you could obviously not accept and me will do as you say anyway) i need to know:

a) if you want to rephrase it yourself before cos may have some more ideas than me already and/or;

b) if you have a hidden extension of the software in your oven (that could add more lines to it) that could be released in 30 or 50 days time. So i'll wait if so, but i'll do it by then for sure. I'm trapped already...

PS. i modified the state of this issue into 'needs work'
