The AICC has established an open, registration-required, discussion forum for issues relating to the end-of-development for Adobe Authorware. This action has created significant uncertainty and is expected to have significant financial and technical ramifications across many industries. The AICC Authorware End-of-Development Discussion Forum is a place to contribute your feedback, comments and observations for an open letter to Adobe from the training community.

The live discussion at the AICC Meeting has already resulted in a variety of RFP requirements, risk management strategies, conversion strategies, tools & services proposals, and criteria for selection of future and alternative suppliers and technologies. Concerns included avoiding trading one opaque/proprietary format for another, IE7 compatibility, Vista compatibility, and the sheer scope and resource requirements of completely redeveloping content from scratch.

It was generally agreed that partial, but not complete, conversion from Authorware to other formats may be acceptable. Further discussion revealed that individual organizations may have specific categories of content and conversion could likely be "hand-tuned" to increase the fidelity/success with that content. Extra or custom effort to achieve such conversions is considered acceptable.

Some interesting alternatives include migrations from Adobe Authorware to Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS), HTML/DHTML, and/or Microsoft Silverlight rather than Adobe AIR, Director MX 2004, Flash, or Flex.

Participants also called for a prompt response from Adobe regarding their plans for a roadmap, response or guidance-- many organization are currently making development plans, technology selections, and preparing RFPs for this calendar year. Discussion notes are included in the AICC Meeting minutes, which will be posted after this week's meeting conclude on September 27, 2007.

Please visit the AICC Authorware End-of-Development Discussion Forum to learn additional information or share your feedback and ideas.
