Documentation
Documentation is managed in the edx-documentation repository. Documentation is built using Sphinx: you can view the built documentation on ReadTheDocs.
You can also check out Confluence, our wiki system. Once you sign up for an account, you'll be able to create new pages and edit existing pages, just like in any other wiki system. You only need one account for both Confluence and JIRA, our issue tracker.
Getting Help
If you’re having trouble, we have several different mailing lists where you can ask for help:
- openedx-ops: everything related to running Open edX. This includes installation issues, server management, cost analysis, and so on.
- openedx-translation: everything related to translating Open edX into other languages. This includes volunteer translators, our internationalization infrastructure, issues related to Transifex, and so on.
- openedx-analytics: everything related to analytics in Open edX.
- edx-code: anything else related to Open edX. This includes feature requests, idea proposals, refactorings, and so on.
Our real-time conversations are on Slack. You can request a Slack invitation, then join our community Slack team.
