This page covers a variety of developer documentation products, including the Open edX Developer's Guide, IDA documentation, and other forms of documentation.
Documentation for developers presents an opportunity for edX and the Open Source community. Currently, documentation is scattered across a number of repos, wiki pages, GitHub, and other sources.
IDA Documentation
In addition to the Open edX Developer's Guide, edX has a number of independently deployable applications (IDAs), each with its own documentation that is located in the same repo as the IDA. The ECOM team and docs team have discussed the best location for IDA documentation—should documentation for an IDA be with the code, or should it be in the edx-documentation repo?—but have not come to a definitive conclusion. For information about these discussions, see the following pages.
Additional Developer Documentation
Additional developer documentation is located in edX wiki pages, GitHub, and other places. The documentation team had a meeting with members of the ECOM team in August to discuss organizing and consolidating developer documentation.
