			=== Former Design Sketches ===
			These images represent some earlier explorations of Groups, of both "open" and "closed" nature. For additional background on groups and their behaviors, please see [[Design Team/Specifications/Groups]]. If the above "local group" concept is implemented as a stepping stone to this model, we should be very clear in determining how that transition will happen. It's unclear to me how to illustrate the difference between the two, or how to convert local named groups to mutual open groups down the road. I do, however, see the open and closed groups specified here as more useful than local group names, since the benefits of group creation are enjoyed by all members.

			[[Image:Groups_1.jpg\|thumb\|centre\|640px\|The toolbar of the Groups zoom level has a group filter, in addition to the usual search field, as well as controls for creating or leaving groups. (I think Gary's use of (+) and (-) may be clearer than this design.)]]

			[[Image:Groups_2.jpg\|thumb\|centre\|640px\|The "Create group" button has a secondary option for creating a "closed" group. This feature is more likely to be used by teachers in an organized context, such as to define a class, so it is not as prominent in the UI.]]

			[[Image:Groups_3.jpg\|thumb\|centre\|640px\|The group creation process consists of providing a name, and selecting a number of individuals to invite to the group as it's created. Alternatively, we could simplify this process some if we only required a name, and then individually invite members using the process shown below.]]

			[[Image:Groups_4.jpg\|thumb\|centre\|640px\|Creating a closed group is nearly identical, however a set of instructors (who can manage the groups members and name) is also chosen.]]

			[[Image:Groups_5.jpg\|thumb\|centre\|640px\|Group invitations appear in the upper left corner of the screen. They appear in the colors of the inviter, and show the inviters name and the name of the group.]]

			[[Image:Groups_6.jpg\|thumb\|centre\|640px\|The groups one belongs to appear in the "Start with" and "Send to" menus, making sharing and collaborating with sets of friends easy and efficient. I like Gary's use of the group icon in the menus. In fact, we might assign "arbitrary" colors to groups based on their creator.
