5. Improvements and Calls/offers for help (@antoviaque)
Improvements
“I wish there were a snapshot of the technical settings and feature toggles from the Maple release, so I could diff them nor the nutmeg release notes. (edx-platform technical reference — edx-platform Technical Reference documentation”
Feedback:
- That particular Readthedocs site is generated from edX Platform. So, he should be able to go to the older masterbranch and just regenerate those docs locally.
“It was a little bit tough to onboard as there’s so many communication platforms, but the more I learned the more it all makes sense. The onboarding courses will be super helpful to future participants.”
Feedback:
- This is already being addressed.
Calls/offers for help
"Not yet but soon I might want people to help me write config files related to Backstage into various repos. | @feanil "
" I would love to get an overview of the current work on frontend plugins. I’m trying to keep in touch with the latest changes. | @xitij2000 "
Feedback:
- Adolfo will get in touch with him.
" I need help to think of new test cases for the Test Plan. At present there are only basic test cases for the Studio and LMS.What about unique XBlocks, plugins, devops, global admin, and other areas that we need to create test cases for? It would be great if people can review the test cases then add their suggestions to the SUGGESTIONS tab in the sheet. I will bring this up in the meetups too. | @Dean "
Feedback:
- Probably, these missing test cases will be figured out during the testing process.
" I’m hoping that this blockstore PR gets merged this week or next week, and then backported to nutmeg | @pdpinch "
Feedback:
- It should have been merged on Thursday.
