OEP 0029: Real Time Theming (Draft)

[taranjeet]

It adds guidelines to allow updating theme dynamically and develop features that will allow to apply any theme from Open edX interface.

It is based on the following document

Note: As OpenCraft, our role is to define a proper solution and ensure that the future developments move in the right direction, but not committing on developing any of this at the moment.

Thanks for the pull request, @taranjeet! I've created OSPR-2599 to keep track of it in JIRA. JIRA is a place for product owners to prioritize feature reviews by the engineering development teams.

Feel free to add as much of the following information to the ticket:

• supporting documentation
• edx-code email threads
• timeline information ("this must be merged by XX date", and why that is)
• partner information ("this is a course on edx.org")
• any other information that can help Product understand the context for the PR

All technical communication about the code itself will still be done via the GitHub pull request interface. As a reminder, our process documentation is here.

@taranjeet Thanks for the proposal. Let me know me this is ready for a discussion and review.

One small nit, but otherwise this looks good to me, thanks!

[taranjeet]

@mtyaka Thanks for the review. I have addressed all your concerns.
@mduboseedx : It is ready for an edx review.

[mduboseedx]

@edx/arch-review Could you take a look at this OEP proposal about Real Time Theming?

[mtyaka]

Thanks @mduboseedx. Any idea when we can expect a review?

[mduboseedx]

@edx/arch-review @nasthagiri Do you know who might be a good person to look over this OEP?

[nasthagiri]

@taranjeet @mtyaka Thank you for making progress on this OEP. Please see my comment on the other Theming-related OEP and the suggestion to keep this in Draft form until early next year.

@nasthagiri @ormsbee Is it a good time to pick this up again ?

[nasthagiri]

@natabene Please see my comment on the other Theming-related OEP. Thanks.

[natabene]

@nasthagiri Thank you for your comment, super helpful to me.

[nasthagiri]

@taranjeet I am closing this proposed OEP since we have not had traction on this effort. We can reopen if/when there is further interest in this direction.

Also, we will be revisiting theming as we venture into MFE deployments for Open edX.
