As a hackathon project last week, we started the process of removing
CoffeeScript from edx-platform. Last year we formally announced that we
were deprecating CoffeeScript, and so now we are following through to
simplify life for front end developers.

If you are interested in the process that we are using, it is documented on
the wiki here:

https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OPEN/How+to+convert+CoffeeScript+to+JavaScript

There are a couple of important ramifications of this work:
1. Changes you make to CoffeeScript files will be hard to merge back, as
the files are being deleted in favor of their JavaScript versions.
2. The history of changes will be lost as GitHub sees the JavaScript
versions as being new files.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,

 - Andy
