Notes
Arch Squad/Spreading Around Core
- FedX meeting: bring up things that have come up and need work (mini-grooming?)
Enterprise XBlock Renderer
- George is making a React component that renders an XBlock!!!
- Remove + replace links + scripts
- But preserve order!
- dangerouslySetInnerHtml
- Loading scripts serially is challenging
- Is an XBlock really that bad?
- triple scrollbars
- video problematic
- navigation difficult
- a11y bad
Cookie Banner
- Cookie banner is first content-specific package
- Footer could be next
- Header too?
- Open questions
- translations
- SFE has pretty much hammered this out after quite a bit of discovery work
- Can we reuse some of what SFE has done across our content-specific packages?
- Eric guest speaker next week?
- CSS
- should paragon allow inline styles?
- how to apply styles to specific DOM elements?
- Should these styles just go upstream back into Paragon?
- Could we pass pre-styled items into the components?
- Let's think about this
- should paragon allow inline styles?
- translations
- Let's call these edX-specific components
- Can we have a generator or cookiecutter for edX-specific components once we've answered these questions?
