Core Contributor Check-in: Jan 18th - 31st, 2025
Do you need any help? Or is there anything you’d like to collaborate on?
- A couple of less-used xBlocks broke on master recently: xblock-drag-and-drop-v2 and xblock-poll. We haven’t determined the cause yet, or if they’re even related. Looks like Kyle has started to look into this.
- I’d like to merge this CCX bug fix but it seems substantial. I should probably coordinate with 2U.
- After I review the fix: exam submit email content and fix: replaced confusing exam messages with some more suitable ones I’ll need some help getting them merged.
