The Atlas Web Publisher provides a frontend UI and an API to put content into content storage. Its key features should include:

A JSON API for adding Atlas HTML Builds or EPUB content.
A JSON API for adding minimal metadata about the content; we assume that richer metadata will be provided by the oreilly product service
- A product ID that ties the content to the oreilly product database
- Basic upload info (username, date, etc)
- A JSON flexfield that can contain arbitrary metadata
- Metadata that is relevant to search but is otherwise not present in the Product Database
- For EPUB content, consider reading the OPF file and extracting relevant metadata.
Basic auth over HTTPS for the API
A UI that provides a layer on top of the API to allow users to manage CCS content in a familiar GUI

Non requirements for the initial release:

For Atlas projects, deployment of the “themes” onto a CDN or some other asset pipeline

This is an XLarge project.

Please X all areas of functionality that will need to be changed to incorporate this feature:
