Re: Signing up for course

OK. Here is the course sign-up work flow as I see it.
Comments are welcome.

1. Student is presented with UMO View" page
2. If he is not signed up already, and is not in one of the
manager/editor groups,
     sign up button is displayed
3. Sign up button presents student with list of public classes (do we have a
    concept of private classes?) connected to the course.
4. Student finds a suitable class, and signs up to it.

Questions:
- Should we skip class list page, if there is only a default class?
- How should we display the default class in the listing, to make
  it clear to the potential student what it is
- Do we need "unlistable" classes (presuming teacher of such class
  will give some sort of reference to it to his target students in other
  ways)
- What info will be useful to the student on the class listing page?
