[Bug 610690] Re: Merging open/invite/request group types

 

Sounds good to me. Just a few more specifics:

1. Group type open: Any admin can invite users to join - either via
their profile page or in bulk.

2. Any group member should be able to send an invite to others he knows
to suggest joining a group. Great would be if they don't have to go to
the profile page if they want to invite a number of people, but could
select from their list of friends as well (similar to what Facebook
does) and thus send multiple invites.

3. Group type invite: Again, any admin can invite people individually or
in bulk.

4. Turning off the invite: That would be going into the direction of
private groups, right?

5. We still keep the controlled membership groups.

6. Keep in mind the discussion at

Title:
  Merging open/invite/request group types

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Just realized that I cannot invite other members to an open group
  (master.dev). When I create a group and want to invite a bunch of
  people from the start, it would be nice to have the possibility to
  invite multiple people like in an invite-only group.

  Or did you not provide the multiple invite option to avoid spammers
  creating groups and signing everybody up?
