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
