[Building Sakai] New Feature for Sakai 2.10: Joinable Groups

[Steve Swinsburg]

Sections aren't 100% the same as groups.

If you use Section Info to create a section, it doesn't show in Site Info > Groups as that tool explicitly limits the groups created by Site Info only.

They also tie in with elements of Course Management, i.e. Students and TAs etc.

I like the options in Section Info but for project sites it just doesn't line up very well. 

cheers,
Steve
