[p2pu-dev] users are starting to create "challenges"

[zuzel.vp]

Right now there is nothing webcraft specific hardcoded in the
implementation. Hidding the creation will complicate things a bit more
at the implementation level. It will also not allow people to test the
new kind of group (without using the actual webmaking 101 challenges
as sandbox for testing). If we are moving towards it (i.e. some of the
features could become a main part of p2pu), I think it is important to
have challenges as an option. We even made use of this capability in
the first community call by sugesting one of the participants  to test
out this kind of group for Bio 101. If challenges were not open at
that time I will had to manually give that user special access or we
will not be able to test them at all. Changing between kinds of groups
is easy so they can change back  the group to study group or course
any time. I will vote to include something like (new) in the desc of
the kind of group and start their longer description at help.p2pu.org.

Thoughts?
