In relation to Prospectus aka "new pages"

Topic Pages

Discovery is creating a new frontend system for our marketing site and pages. This is called Prospectus and is written in GatsbyJS. They have rolled it out for a subset of Course About pages and have been spoken of as the "New Course About Pages." They have a new user experience and will be best handled by the Discovery team who has the most context.

(Jasper Ho can you provide context of which types of pages fall into this category?)

Course Publishing Workflow

Publisher

Discovery has taken on the task of creating a new Publisher frontend as well as having done some data clean up work to help prevent/reduce data reversions that we had been used to seeing. They are not doing a lot of active changes within the existing Publisher as the team is currently working on building out the new frontend, but they should be kept up to date with work our team does in case it is related to their changes / so they are aware as they plan their roadmap.
For incoming Publisher issues:
  • Tag Albert (AJ) St. Aubin (Deactivated) Triage & create the Prod ticket, tag Jason Myatt (Deactivated) (Publisher Pod Team Lead) for context & to ask if the experience is related to active work - not all Publisher issues coming in relate to ongoing Publisher work, but the team should be made aware of what changes our teams are making and may be able to provide knowledge sharing.

Content & Authoring

Content: Special Exams (Proctored, Timed)

aka Proctoring

The team is working on adding a new integration/provider option into edx-proctoring. They are working to make changes to the existing system to support this new integration and likely will have the expertise and context around the edx-proctoring system. They are still in active development phase and the new integration has not yet been rolled out fully.
For incoming Proctored Exam issues:
  • Tag David St. Germain (Deactivated) (Dahlia Team Tech Lead) and message in #masters-proctoring on the Internal Slack with the ticket link to determine if issue is related to any ongoing work or changes. This will keep the dev team updated to any fixes that we see coming in, and help give insight whether it is related to active development. If it is related to active development, the Dahlia team will take on the issue.

Registrar service

As part of running and administrating Master programs, edX needs integration with Masters degree conferring schools. Registrar service is our integration layer with Schools systems. It manages information like Program Enrollment and Program course enrollments. No data should be live for these efforts. There shouldn't be any escalation issues for these yet.edX Internal Slack #masterdevsIn Progress
