One limitation of the current DrupalEd install is that if you have say six year groups and each group has ten courses eg Maths (year2), French (year2) etc, that is 60 groups. With (say) 20 pupils in each year group there is a real need for some automation of the process so... see this wiki for a proposed solution

~billfitzgerald -- Joe -- that's a great writeup -- would you be willing to contribute that to a "Extending DrupalEd" section that could ship with the profile? Writeups like this (that show how to address a specific need) are great to help people get up and running faster. If you would like to include this in the core install, let me know by leaving a comment here or by emailing me at bill at funnymonkey dot com --
~rotarycooling -- Joe -- this is exactly what I've been looking for!
