Hackathon four: the more the merrier

The "Community" Edition

During this hackathon we are lucky to have some external friends and family at edX HQ. The best way to make friends is to hack on projects, so that's just what we're doing. We count among our friends this time:

• Part of the Stanford team
• Others!

The Hacks

• Diff Cover hacks
  • Diff Quality
• Adding In-Progress Grades and testing the grades system
• Prototype Courseware Traversal Visualization
• [Jenkins Ansible provisioning] (https://github.com/edx/configuration/tree/will/jenkins)
• Cleaning: a hack in four parts
• Online Python Tutor integration into edX

Why this would be useful

• Learn about parts of the codebase that we rarely touch
• Work with people we don't get to normally
• Want to get something done outside of the sprint
• Brainstorming and prototyping new features

The Schedule

1. July 8, 2013: hack
2. July 9, 2013: demo (3:30-5pm) (Google Hangout)

Advocate	Description	Interested Parties
@markchang	facebook-style stickers in the forums

@marcotuts	concept sketches,clickable walkthrough, plus (?) for learner analytics redesign
@mlsteele, @rlucioni	Courseware traversal visualization
@jarv	installing edX on Google ComputeEngine
