@saraburns1 I think it pinged you for review as a false-positive ( as part of the "quick start" flow https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/developers/quickstarts/first_openedx_pr.html ), feel free to disregard |
The announcements editor was never ported to frontend-app-authoring, and the announcements display was never ported to frontend-app-learner-dashboard. This announcements feature is rarely used, undocumented, non-a11y-friendly, and there were no volunteers to port it to the new frontends. It is the last remaining part of the legacy Studio "Maintenance" dashboard. So, we are removing it. Note that this commit does not include a migration for the announcements Django app. So, announcements_announcement table will not be deleted. Given the small expected size of any past-authored announcements, we are not worried about leaving them in the database perpetually. Part of: openedx#36263

Description
The announcements editor was never ported to frontend-app-authoring, and
the announcements display was never ported to frontend-app-learner-dashboard.
This announcements feature is rarely used, undocumented, non-a11y-friendly, and
there were no volunteers to port it to the new frontends. It is the last
remaining part of the legacy Studio "Maintenance" dashboard. So, we are
removing it.
