In that case the solution will be rejected by most teacher because not
enought user friendly or too geek oriented (renaming group scheme is
over their scope). This is just the ecosystem rule and the population in
this ecosystemeare the teachers and students and they will have the last
word, not us.

All teachers when they use ICT want to be able at some point to share
documents with their studenst. The proposed scheme is of course one way
to do this and propositing one default solution will have the advange to
be already there, ready to be used which is better that the
do-in-your-own scheme. There is alway choice to be done.

Is it a working right now solution? If just half working it is like
not-working-at-all. I will try to look at it.
