Title:
  copy collection

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.
