Title:
  Add group shortnames to manually created groups

Status in Mahara:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  In Mahara 1.5 groups can be created via a CSV file and associated with
  an institution. Often, however, groups can be created manually, but a
  CSV upload of the members may be preferred. Thus, it would be good if
  manually created groups could also have a short name (that is also
  displayed to the admin) so that members can be added via CSV.

  This wishlist item needs a bit more thinking because the CSV feature
  allows institution admins to create groups that are associated with
  their institution (though it doesn't do anything with that information
  yet, I think) but not on a site level. Furthermore, if groups already
  exist, they would need to be assigned a short name. And then who can
  add members as they are not associated with an institution yet?

  Furthermore, the CSV upload is also only beneficial if users don't
  change their user names. An admin must be aware of that or his upload
  may not work most of the time. Thus, user names should be locked.
