Thank you for your report! @openedx/axim-oncall will triage within a business day. Simple requests usually take 2-3 business days to resolve; more complex requests could take longer.

@feanil, @kdmccormick: Wasn't the plan to have one repo for the long tail of smaller openedx-supported XBlocks, to make maintenance a bit easier?

[feanil]

I don't recall, Are we good with one package with all 3 blocks in it? Name suggestion? openedx-core-xblocks? openedx-contrib-xblocks?

[kdmccormick]

How about xblocks-contrib?

These blocks will need a good amount of work before we're ready to switch edx-platform over to them. @feanil , what do you think about building them out of the aximcollaborative org instead of openedx until they're ready to go.

[feanil]

That's complicated because then we need to grant Aximprovements access over there and I think it's fine to develop over here, the catalog-info.yaml can mark the repo as experimental/in-development so I think it's fine to have an xblocks-contrib in this repo. Which would be a single package that contains multiple xblocks. (Confirming this last bit)

[kdmccormick]

Sounds good. And yeah, I would prefer 1 repo to 3 repos, assuming that the blocks will be versioned together as well, which I think is the right call.

[farhan]

Alright, sounds like a good evolution to me
@arbrandes Please create a new repo xblocks-contrib

[ormsbee]

Created https://github.com/openedx/xblocks-contrib and gave @openedx/axim-aximprovements write access.

Also gave write access to bot-requirements-python and cla-checker. Triage access granted for openedx-triage.
