Better Open edX Technical Architecture content
- (Kahlil) Under Official Documentation, the link to Open edX Technical Architecture redirects to Contribute to Open edX. I would make an MR but I've no idea where this is supposed to point to. Maybe someone with more experience with the Open edX docs might know?

A newcomer > Open edX devstack > Open EdX,
(Alan) there are 2 OpenEDX overviews: one in openEDX dev guide (https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-developer-guide/en/latest/architecture.html#open-edx-architecture) and an openEDX presentation (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/174esosfPeoofe8HXkFx-9utUEwUSpxapZbwgLMgcrik). Could we merge the latter into the former? If not, could we extract and keep only the useful content from the openEDX presentation (eg. components names and pictures and technologies used in it ), discarding “irrelevant info” such as number of classes, zoomed out class diagrams and superficial references to XBlock and CAPA ? I understand that this “irrelevant info” may be entertaining in a presentation, but it is distracting and does not fit very well in a developer course or documentation.
Suggested fix:
Direct newcomers to the Open edX architecture course instead, as "further reading" if there's time within their onboarding budget.
