Update status of Concept Exercises

[ErikSchierboom]

This issue is part of the migration to v3. You can read full details about the various changes here.

Concept Exercises can have a status specified in their "status" field in their config.json entry, as specified in the spec. This status can be one of four values:

• "wip": A work-in-progress exercise not ready for public consumption. Exercises with this tag will not be shown to students on the UI or be used for unlocking logic. They may appear for maintainers.
• "beta": This signifies active exercises that are new and which we would like feedback on. We show a beta label on the site for these exercise, with a Call To Action of "Please give us feedback."
• "active": The normal state of active exercises
• "deprecated": Exercises that are no longer shown to students who have not started them (not usable at this stage).

The "status" key can also be omitted, which is the equivalent of setting it to "active".

Goal

The "status" field of Concept Exercises in the config.json file should be updated to reflect the status of the Concept Exercises. See the spec for more information.

If your track doesn't have any Concept Exercises, this issue can be closed.

Example: removed wip status

{
  "exercises": {
    "concept": [
      {
        "uuid": "93fbc7cf-3a7e-4450-ad22-e30129c36bb9",
        "slug": "cars-assemble",
        "name": "Cars, Assemble!",
        "concepts": ["if-statements", "numbers"],
        "prerequisites": ["basics"]
      },
      ...
    ]
  }
}

Example: replaced wip status with active

{
  "exercises": {
    "concept": [
      {
        "uuid": "93fbc7cf-3a7e-4450-ad22-e30129c36bb9",
        "slug": "cars-assemble",
        "name": "Cars, Assemble!",
        "concepts": ["if-statements", "numbers"],
        "prerequisites": ["basics"],
        "status": "active"
      },
      ...
    ]
  }
}

Hi @mpizenberg , I believe that this issue is done, do you agree?

[mpizenberg]

I think all our concepts exercises are still with the "beta" label. Which may be fine but I think I had left this issue open to not forget to eventually turn those that have been widely tested to "active". Thing is I haven't followed at all the usage of elm v3 track, so no idea what has been widely tested by users yet ... Feel free to proceed how you feel is right here.

[ceddlyburge]

Yep, I think beta is the correct label at the moment. I don't think we have had any feedback yet so I don't think we can really say that they are not! I think the main thing here was to remove the wip label in time for launch, but we could keep the issue here to remind us to move exercises out of beta once they have been battle tested. We are creating exercises all the time though, so I think this issue will never be done! Not that that really mattters

Alright, let's close it then
