Export to .tar.gz in Studio broken - mangled quotes about edx-platform HOT 3 CLOSED

The PR https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/387 by @chrisndodge partially fixes this issue. Simple string attributes are now exporting correctly.

However, lists of strings are still not exporting correctly. For example, here is the starting part a set of still-mangled attributes from course:

<course advanced_modules="[&quot;combinedopenended&quot;, &quot;peergrading&quot;,     &quot;annotatable&quot;]" checklists="[{&quot;short_description&quot;: &

Hi Ike,

I'll have to check with the original author of the serialization change as there may be some intent behind that. Unfortunately they are out this week on vacation.

I'm closing this issue for now. We're turning off Github Issues, because there are too many different places that people can go to ask for help. By reducing the number of places to ask for help, we're making it easier for knowledgable people to find people to help, so that everyone can help each other more effectively. If you still need help, try asking on our mailing lists or creating an issue on our public JIRA issue tracker.
