Creating Mahara Groups

1	Anybody in the Mahara site can join an open membership group.
2	By making your group publicly viewable, you are allowing people outside of Mahara to view and access materials in your group without being logged in.
3	A Group Administrator can manage group members, create forums, edit, and delete forum posts of other users and edit group settings.

Group Forums

1	Moderators can edit or delete topics / posts in your forum. They should be responsible for checking that users in the forum are following some standard guidelines for behavior.
2	A Sticky topic is one that stays at the topic of a forum so that it is the first or one of the first that users see.
3	It is best to name your forums generally. Topics should relate to a more specific issue within the forum. It should be clear in a topic title what is being discussed.
