Project history and goals

 

The Adapt open source project was established in September 2013, following the donation of City & Guilds Kineo’s internal version of the Adapt framework. We established a core collaborator group and set up the governance of this open source project. The community site was launched shortly thereafter.

  

Adapt authoring tool

We have defined the authoring tool requirements and are currently designing and developing it.

Version 0.1 (the pilot release for early adopters) was released on 11th of May (read more), followed by a further patch release (v0.1.1) on 13/07/2015.

We are working towards releasing version 0.2 of the Adapt authoring tool. We expect this release will be minimal and still require end users to have access to developers. Our intention with release is to start using this in production and gather a user community of early adopters, who are also able to help guide us along to version 1.0 via a number of interim releases.

Version 1.0 of the Adapt authoring tool will be the first official release aimed at non-technical end users. This will still take a while to deliver. There is a sneak preview below:
