@rocha this puts back that django-admin utility that we removed a few months ago. Seems like researchers still need this, so we should get it back to master. |
|
@chrisndodge We currently are providing the output of that command (JSON course structure) to the researchers in our weekly dump. |
|
Ah, is the output schema the same? I'm still very confused, why course teams still need to get us to generate these? Is the problem that they have to change their scripts since the output of your JSON is different than what we had delivered before? |

The output should be very similar, since it is based on your script. I think there are a few extra fields and that is it. As a note, we provide data exports to the data czars, not the course teams. The teams may request the data from their corresponding data czars, but only if it is for research purposes. Each university has a different policy about it. I am not sure why the course teams are requesting the JSON data, nor what they are doing with it. I think that is part of the reason no one has taken care of it so far. |

I am closing the pull requests, since this functionality is provided by another command. |
