Hi all

I would like to develope some more function in openedX platform due to our university requirements. Some functions need to access to “kenel part” of openedX, not only Xblock.

So, I am looking for any kind of document, explain internal architeture of openedX. Anybody know wher I can find that documents?

Thank you in advance  
Hoang Pham

Hi @Hoang_PHAM_HUY and welcome back. I don’t have great news here - we have some outdated documentation in [Open edX Developer’s Guide — Latest documentation](https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/developers/references/developer_guide/index.html) but I can’t promise how accurate it is. I welcome pull requests or repo issues that detail how to improve these documents.
