Calls/offers for help
This is what the core team needs help on now. Note that anyone can help – you don’t need to be a Core Contributor (yet!) for that:
Is there anything where you could use help from others? Or that you would like to collaborate on?

Improvements & blockers
What is blocking the team currently, as well as suggestions of improvements:
Any blockers?
| TC_INSTRUCTOR_6 > LMS: INSTRUCTOR: MEMBERSHIP > Pages and Resources page throws Page not found error · Issue #182 · openedx/wg-build-test-release · GitHub | Dean Jay Mathew |
|---|---|
| TC_AUTHOR_133: STUDIO: SETTINGS: ADVANCED: Course visibility in catalog · Issue #164 · openedx/wg-build-test-release · GitHub | Dean Jay Mathew |
| Documentation is sometimes confusing. | Andrés González |
| We need a decision about the course authoring MFE in nutmeg. I don’t think we should include it, but then someone needs to restore functionality for the wiki and, I think, cohort management. | Peter Pinch |
| Having access to the BTR session of the conference would be great.It was mentioned here Tech talk/demo: Deploying multiple Open edX instances onto a Kubernetes Cluster with Tutor - #44 by dbates | Feliipe Montoya |
What should we improve?
| Increase the number of active core contributors/active community members | Dean Jay Mathew |
|---|---|
| Since Friday is shutting down, I figure that we’re moving to another similar software soon. I would be elated if the new solution pre-populated the “what did you accomplish?” field with PRs or issues that we worked on from GitHub | Kyle McCormick |
| Documentation: many features in the installation manual are not clear from a user perspective. , E.g.: , https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/open-release-maple.master/configuration/enable_custom_course_settings.html: how can this be used? , https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/open-release-maple.master/configuration/youtube_api.html: what is the benefit? What is it for? | Andrés González |
| to myself: this time I couldn’t review/merge any code changes. I need to put more effort into those. | Maria Grimaldi |
| Despite our efforts, we were blind-sided by dependencies on the Course Authoring MFE. It’s not ready for an open edX release, but there are functions that no longer work without it. | Peter Pinch |
| More of a note than a suggestion - I always feel I need more time to do all the things I could be doing! I imagine most of us feel that way. There is no shortage of things to work on! | Ali Hugo |
