 New template pack for BuddyPress is a work in progress at #4952 Those
 templates are scheduled to be bundled with 1.8

 This ticket looks beyond 1.8 into what is desirable/feasible in the next
 iteration of the templates.

 '''Group Directory'''
 Number of member and whether Open/Closed is moved above group description.
 The key information should be easily scannable i.e. easily grasped in one
 glance. That's what this visual promotion of number of members does.

 The "grey" Joing Group button indicates that the user is already a member
 of this group. In reality, instead of a greyed out button, user should
 really see the text to the effect "You are already a member of this group"

 '''Group Profile'''
 Primarily 3 changes:
 - @grouphandle below Group Name - dependency #5010
 - Move "Join Group" button to top right. This is most salient place on the
 screen. Also, on directory pages, that's where the button is placed.
 - Addition of 2 widget areas (content top and left column). Like all
 widget areas in WordPress, if there is no content in widget areas, they
 collapse.

 '''Member Directoy'''
 Member directory features so called "cards" format.
 There are 3 changes from #4952
 - Bigger member photo
 - Online Now/ Offline info under the photo - dependency #5007
 - Display additional fields as chosen by admin - dependency #4126
 This is major. As @karmatosed says in #4952
 > BuddyPress powers a range of communities... You could be proposing
 something to be used by a cribbage club for retired people, a football
 club, a school and a support group for an illness. You never know.
 Hence, the admin should decide for her own community what info goes on the
 cards.
 - Removed "online since"

 '''Member Profile'''
 Differences from #4952
 - Bigger profile photo
 - Friend button moved to top right. This is most salient place on the
 screen. Also, on directory pages, that's where the button is placed.
 - Send Message button added to send a private message to the user.
 - Online Now/ Offline info under the photo - dependency #5007
 - Addition of 2 widget areas (content top and left column). In the example
 wireframes, the content top widget shows a preview of About/Profile, and
 the left column widget shows a preview of Friends and Groups. - dependency
 #5008

 '''Messages'''
 - Brought into standard profile-like template
 - Added timestamp below title
 - Folder links and Send Message button locations flipped
