Operation Tame: Phase 1 Notes

Phase 0 Notes:

• Create plan for automating metadata extraction from code to output the equivalent of the spreadsheet.
• Create "Draft Best Practices" page.
  • Creation of new things.  Where does it go?  
  • Cleaning up old things.  Common libs pip installed should no longer be pip installed.

Phase 1 Notes:

• Next Steps:
  1. Validate seams
     1. Review by stakeholders: Learner, Educator, Business, Analytics, TestEng, Platform, Eng Management
        1. JIRA perspective: https://docs.google.com/a/edx.org/spreadsheets/d/15Uz3JrwPVg51Pj6cw02iPUAAZ53AchbtgZ3g1TPmb7g/edit?usp=sharing
     2. Run-through a few use-cases
  2. Move to logical components within edx-platform 
  3. Dependency analysis to find low-level, high-level, etc components
  4. Move low-level components to their own repos
     1. If modified a lot
     2. if not modified a lot
  5. Best practices (OEP)
     1. clear interfaces
     2. folder structure
     3. etc
  6. Move current pip-installable apps in edx-platform into their own repo (common/lib/*)
  7. Reduce # of acceptance tests
