Michigan is proposing changes to the Site Info (aka Worksite Setup) Tool Selection page, to group tools to address several concerns:

* The tool list for courses/projects is already long and growing
* The addition of Basic LTI tools to this list will make this list even longer and more unmanageable for users (https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-22108)

We feel that adding configurable "groups" will help users visually select the correct tools for their site. We'd also like to provide optional screenshots of the the tools ("more") to help users with tool selection.

See the following screenshot for the new proposed layout:

In order to implement this, we're proposing optional additions to the toolOrder.xml file to define these new groupings. These groupings only impact the Site Info Tool Selection page. 

Please let us know your thoughts!

Thanks,
- Beth
