To follow up on Doug's question -- I know that many of you have shared your issues re: theming several times, and I'm sorry that you're being asked to repeat yourselves. If you'd like to update this wiki page (https://openedx.atlassian.net/ wiki/display/FEDX/Challenges+with+comprehensive+theming+in+Eucalyptus) to include more information about some of the problems you've faced, that's a good way to make an easily accessible record that the community and the working group can reference moving forward.
I will also be sharing the results of our survey next week, which will have more details about pain points for themers. If folks don't want to wait, email me off-list and I can send you the current results, minus anything that has been marked confidential. best Shauna On Wed, Oct 19, 2016 at 3:46 PM, <dh...@edx.org> wrote: > Hi Giulio, > > We do in fact make use of a private theme repo here at edX for certain > projects.
