[p2pu-webcraft] [p2pu-schools] Re: Please review: default decline message for non Webcraft courses and groups

[Philipp Schmidt]

+1 for removal of school association in course creation (or making it
much more obvious, the whole schools thing really confused the
shuttleworth users)

+1 for avoiding to deny users to do anything

+1 for course creation notifications to go to pippa and anyone else
who wants them as well (maybe any user on the site can choose to
receive them?)
