      Scope:

      • Introduce an 'Add as conversation' toggle on group edit form which creates group conversation (or flags group for future conversation creation via adhoc/scheduled tasks - this is up for discussion but as soon as possible would be the preference). 
      • Groups and their conversation must be linked somehow  to facilitate synchronisation tasks (see MDL-63281). Keep in mind we may very well have conversations which are NOT linked to groups, as well as conversations which may be linked to other things in Moodle - design should be flexible enough to accommodate these.
        • The  [component, context, itemid] idea perhaps seems reasonable as we've used this elsewhere.
      • This issue should add to / extend the relevant non-search internal APIs (data_for_messagearea_conversations(), others?)  and web services such that we include the required metadata about the conversation in any calls made to fetch it.
        This DOES NOT include search APIs - see MDL-63282 for that.
        This data may include:
        • Information about what the conversation is linked to (in as generic a way as possible) which, in our case, needs to include:
          • Course name
          • Group name
        • Time of most recent message
        • Unread count for the conversation

      Out of scope:

      • Synchronisation of groups/group-conversations members (see MDL-63281 for this)
