[sakai2-tcc] Roster2 replacing Roster Classique

[Aaron Zeckoski]

I got the impression from some other folks at the conference and in
this thread that they needed the functionality to be like Adrian
described. Maybe we should post something to the dev and production
list and outline the 2 options (which I think are control in roster2
or control in profile2 right?).

I am happy to post it if you would like but it's probably easier for
Adrian at this stage.

Thoughts?
