Ecom Services for Dogwood

We are planning to include Ecom services in named releases and devstack, starting with Dogwood.

UPDATE: Documentation for Otto is still missing. Fully documenting the system should take about one developer week. It will be hard for Product to justify taking the time to do this work before the XSeries MVP is delivered. As such, ecommerce services will be included in Dogwood, but won't be fully documented or supported until the Eucalyptus release.

Notes from 7-20-15 Meeting

Ecom in Named Releases

Attendees: David Baumgold (Deactivated) Feanil Patel (Deactivated) ClintonB (Deactivated) Renzo Lucioni (Deactivated) Sarina Canelake (Unlicensed)

Possible to include as part of full stack

pretty small compared to other apps

Documentation would be required

current documentation sucks

biggest challenge is documentation
- Need two halves of documentation:
  - Open edx oriented - enabling otto & running your instance w otto
  - Developing on Otto (developer's guide)
integration is a few settings & oauth
some integration work needed on ops side - Ecom team can handle

ansible

course administration tool needed in dogwood

expected to land in q1 (so no worry)

Goal for service is to be available but turned off by default (dogwood)

goal: by Eucalyptus turn on by default

makes path to deprecate / remove shopping cart, other code, much more clear
