o Wizards tool.
+ UD & UM not using; Rutgers using, but probably personalized; rSmart has it available; may be too late for 2.9, perhaps for 2.10
+ If turned off, would not be tested and could become significantly broken; those using could be doing Q/A testing w/o significant development commitment.
o Consider making the default state of the Design Your Own Portfolio function hidden.
+ can be turned off, would also mean portfolio layouts would be turned off too; community agreed to move forward on this - will take to list.
+ make sure that there is Help available to assist people in turning features back on.
