Adobe (formally Macromedia) Authorware - Developed by Michael Allen

2012-11-05 Thread strategic
Hello,

Authorware is an excellent icon based eLearning development environment.  Adobe 
states that they are discontinuing this product.  As an educator with an 
interest in software development, I’d hate to see this outstanding software 
become a historical footnote.  

If Adobe could be persuaded to donate Authorware to the OpenSource community 
could it have a home with Apache?  How would this process take place?  How 
would I get the ball rolling?

Thanks.

- Andrew

Hi Andrew,

You also might want to consider joining the Xerte[1]  community - its not the 
same software but does roughly the same thing, and perhaps you could help it 
provide some of the features you liked best in Authorware.
