Hi everyone, This OEP has been accepted: http://open-edx-proposals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oep-0006.html
In the version that has been accepted, we introduce two new XBlock field scopes, Scope.context_settings and Scope.context_preferences, which can hold course-specific data set by course authors and users respectively. The OEP also defines a new XBlock view, "context_settings_view" that can be used by course authors in Studio to edit the context_settings fields. There was a lot of discussion on the way, which you can read on the PR <https://github.com/edx/open-edx-proposals/pull/15> if you are interested. Next I will be working on a prototype implementation to validate this approach.
