The Studio Maintenance app had two features: * "Force Course Publish", which literally doesn't do anything. All it does is tell you what version *would* be seen by users *if* the course were to be published--no publishing actually occurs via this feature. * "Announcements", which writes to the announcements_announcement database table, but doesn't actually display anywhere. Having these pages in the platform is actively misleading and creates a maintenance burden for edx-platform developers, so we remove them. 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.
Open EdX Features ----------------- This is the root package for Open edX features that extend the edX platform. The intention is that these features would ideally live in an external repository, but for now they live in edx-platform but are cleanly modularized.
