[WG: Accessibility] Sakai Course Groups Created for Accommodation Purposes

[Neal Caidin]

Hi Joe,

The non-descript group naming seems like a reasonable workaround and the 
main cost is the effort to educate faculty and others who maintain Sakai 
sites.

That option is not being well received at Indiana?

Cheers,
Neal
