[samigo-team] Using metadata for assessments

[Sam Ottenhoff]

I brought up the issue of removing all mentions of metadata in Samigo a
year ago as the data is not used in any meaningful way.  It's not used in
searches, sorting, grouping, etc. My argument for removing all mentions of
metadata was that a) it is misleading and b) it clutters the interface.

The only counter-example I received was Roger from IU who said he had one
professor who made heavy use of the metadata fields for keeping track of
pools.

I would support removing all mention of metadata in Samigo and further
simplifying the interface.
