[WG: Sakai QA] new lessons feature to test

I have implemented student pages owned by groups. It works, but based on feedback may require minor UI changes.

Currently:
* instructor can set a student content section to be associated with groups.
* They will normally choose a set of groups to use. Please pick a set so that a given user is only in one group.
* When a student creates a page it will be associated with their group, not them (though we keep track of who created it)
* Grades for pages go to all students in the group.

The biggest design issue is controlling what groups get used. I'd like to avoid asking the student which group to use, so I'm hoping that in realistic cases you can pick a set of groups that partitions the students. Currently the group list is stored as text. That makes sense for up to about 100 groups. If you're going to want to use this feature for sites with more groups I've got work to do.

I'd particularly like someone to test this in Oracle.

It should be possible to move from the normal 2.9 version to this one. Hibernate will add necessary fields automatically.
