Hey Ben, do you need a review on this, or do you want to just merge it?

pdpinch commented 9 years ago

@itsbenweeks Just checking in on this again. Do you need a review?

Sorry for missing your reply last week, @pdpinch. After having not touched this in 4 months, I've lost some contex on this. Let me reorient myself to thist, and I'll let you know.

I think I'll scrap this. At the time, using one template for studio and latex2edx made sense. Having conditionally generated files causes cookie-cutter to raise an exception. Granted, that exception is raised after all the necessary files are generated, so it functionally works, but it's poor practice. Having separate branches for studio, latex2edx, and xml courses would make a bit more sense.

It may be best to keep it as minimal as possible, as well. The fellows course can be a place to see 'best practices' in action. Giving all of that to a new course creator can be a little overwhelming for them.
