[p2pu-dev] Moving profiles to people/username

[Pippa Buchanan]

from a usercentric (not tech) perspective i think that putting it under
people makes sense - i've looked for user profiles and have naturally typed
out p2pu.org/people/username and been surprised it's not already like that

i would keep groups / courses as under groups/groupname rather than making
it toplevel. For someone reading the URL it is clear that a group is being
described. And who knows, we've got people and groups and schools, you never
know what type of thing P2PU will be about in the future:

p2pu.org/textbooks/bloggingandwritingfortheweb
p2pu.org/thesis/OpenResearchIsMuchBetter
p2pu.org/region/oberoesterreich

etc :-)
