Extract non-Core apps into Hooks-based platform plugins

This ticket is about refactoring non-core applications in the Open edX platform by converting them into hooks-based plugins. All details available in the oep. Instead of keeping all functionality tightly coupled within the core platform, certain apps/modules should be extracted into standalone plugins that integrate with the system using Open edX’s plugin framework. Following are some suitable candidates.

Goals

• Improve modularity by moving non-essential apps out of the core codebase.
• Utilize hooks-based plugins for seamless extension and integration.
• Reduce technical debt by isolating features that don’t belong in the core platform.

Technical Approach

• Implement appropriate entry points to ensure smooth interaction between the core platform and the extracted plugins.

Potenial apps

1. ora_staff_grader
2. program_enrollment
3. survey
4. zendesk_proxy
5. lang_pref
6. password_policy
7. geoinfo
8. ace_common

Start by reading OEP-0050 and comparing the listed candidate applications, including openedx/core/djangoapps/zendesk_proxy, lang_pref, password_policy, geoinfo, and ace_common. Identify one app and its required entry points; done means the selected non-core app is standalone and integrates through the hooks-based plugin framework.
