Public bug reported:

I like the idea of Mahara groups, but I find them a bit clunky for a
couple reasons:

1. Lack of central navigation once in a collection or page. One must
click back to the central groups page, and find the group again. I’d
like to easily return directly to the group homepage from a group page
or collection or from pages and collections submitted to the group.
Perhaps a “Back to Group Home” button?

2. Lack of organization for submissions: Wish there was some way of
rearranging submissions and putting them into folders. I often get group
administrators who come in with a huge list of submissions and are
completely lost in the clutter. It would be nice if they could see which
pages they have viewed already, and which need more time to review.
Maybe a way to make notes to themselves that would appear next to the
submission on the administrator group home page.

Lack of access to personal mahara files from the group files page. I’d
like to easily transfer a file from my mahara files, rather than have to
upload it again to the group.

Lack of community: As an administrator, I’d like to be able to contact
everyone in the group via email.
