edx-when is designed to be the central source of dates for the LMS. This repository is deployed to PyPI and designed to be installed and imported by an installation of edx-platform. As part of being integrated into edx-platform, edx-when shares the same database as the rest of the platform. It is written to by Studio when a Course is published (via https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/blob/master/openedx/core/djangoapps/course_date_signals/handlers.py) and then the LMS reads from it in several locations. This repo contains start, end, and due dates for Courses and offers the functionality to have both absolute and relative dates.
