[p2pu-dev] private and public study groups "under development" (was Re: deleting study groups)

[Jessy Kate Schingler]

one thing about the sandbox setting is that any "activities" in my stream
related to that sandbox still show up, so if people look at my profile they
then see the course and, for example, i still have people signing up for the
applied algorithms course.

to me it brings up the question of having private drafts, because i'd like
to be able to work on designing *tentative* courses, where i may just be
exploring, without feeling like others will develop expectations around that
course until i've decided its worth running and/or the audience, design etc.
is settled.

i suppose one argument is that this is a cultural thing-- if the course says
"under development" then people should appreciate it as such and not develop
expectations. on the other hand, does that lead us towards a world where we
have a huge number of courses under development but little incentive to
follow through? will this lead to a large graveyard of abandoned courses
with a relatively small number actually running? maybe that's fine as long
as we choose our UI carefully?
