Let's use this time to work together on creating the materials we need to onboard developers and provide the necessary reference material to develop on our platform.

Reference

• OEP-19 Developer Documentation
• Architecture Onboarding Presentation
• Architecture Onboarding Presentation feedback

Goals

• Onboarding
  • Onboarding new developers (internal and external)
  • Onboarding current developers - to new areas - reference material
  • A more approachable structure/direction than the current Onboarding wiki
• Dogfooding our product(s)!
• Keep up-to-date and maintainable
• Refine OEP-19 (Dev Doc) based on actually practicing
• Open edX
  • Keep the content generic (for Open edX), but call out edX-cohort-specific details.
• Content
  • Current and future architecture state.
  • Without overloading with too much information.
  • Main content + "aside" with further detail
  • Assessments - for some things - not necessarily all

Non-Goals

• Not duplicating documentation
• No videos - since hard to maintain and update.

Cohorts

• edX employees (only if private info is required)
• developers
• non-developers
