This has always been the intent of the "middle" view, which was
designed as a "Groups" view (with a number of configurable filters for
various groups a student might be a part of) and is currently just a
"Friends" view. After adding further group support, I suspect
"Friends" will just be one of the available groups.

I know that improvements to Groups/Friends view have been no the table
for upcoming releases, so maybe we can start with a Moodle-only
approach and later extend to a generic system that works with or
without a server.
