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

• Folder example:

  • openedx/

    • core/

      • middlewares/

      • performance/

    • features

      • capa/

      • discussions/

      • grades/

      • course-blocks/

      • courses/
