Public bug reported:

1) COPY COLLECTION:  I am anxiously awaiting the release of a "copy
collection" feature as is being discussed at
http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=2210.  I am setting
Mahara up for a university, and I am actually very surprised not to find
this kind of feature available.  I'm sure most schools require a certain
required layout for their portfolios and could really appreciate this
feature.

2) ADMIN COPY COLLECTION:  To go even further with this, I would even
say that the ability for the admin to copy a collection into new user
accounts would be a great feature.  I think most schools do add users in
from the admin side and as they set up the accounts.  This would enable
them to tick off a collection copy (or a least a set of views for now)
that would be added to the user before the user's account is even first
logged into by the user.

I'm now having to instruct students to copy the 5 views necessary from a
"sample student" profile and then instruct them on how to create their
own collection to make their portfolio in accordance with university
requirements.
