  - Update the docs
  - Fix the existing repos using the upgrade runbook

API focus
- Coming out of the meeting with 2U, we agreed that focusing on improved APIs and API conformance would benefit everyone.
- Authentication causes up headaches because we have a lot of partially done work in this area
  - Current options are
    - session key
    - jwt
    - single platform level API key
- We need a way to generate tokens in a sane way for service-to-service connections
@Kyle McCormick from Axim is interested in moving edx-platform maintainership forward. He's working on a proposal to kick this effort off.
