Description

There are some things that people commonly get wrong when submitting their new group apps. Ideally, we could catch them automatically, or the approvers would catch them themselves, but with the former requiring relatively large amounts of code and the latter being demonstrably ineffective, it might be helpful to have a list of things to check before approving a group.

Some possibilities:

  • name order ("Blah, MIT", not "MIT Blah")
  • president != officer list != group list

    Add pre-group-approval warnings
    
    This fixes (enough, at least for now) several issues by adding warnings
    to the approval page when certain constraints are violated:
    - ASA-#216: New group "ERROR:" emails should get suppressed earlier
    - ASA-#234: max locker name length
    - ASA-#246: Add reminders of common issues to the new group confirmation page
