Which features specifically would you want turned off in a simple group?
The bug description mentions group pages, and group files. Are there
other options as well?

There is some interface trickiness to this... if you want to disable
features in a group, then that means that you need to add additional
controls to enable users to hide/show those features, and now you've
paradoxically made group creation more complicated. I can think of a few
ways around this, though:

1. On the group creation screen, if a user is not staff or admin, make
the extra features disabled by default

2. And/or, if we did guided group creation as described in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1296401 , then make a "simple
group" option that turns off most group features

Title:
  Creating simplified groups

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Sometimes (especially with younger students) group pages, group files,
  etc. are not needed. There should exist an option for creating a
  simplified version of a group which would not contain group pages,
  group files, etc.
