今天早上收到的App Inventor最新公告, 簡單整理如下。
appinventorbeta.com 2012/1/1起停用。 請大家在今年12/31之前到網站上使用一鍵下載 [Download All Projects] 所有的 project備份。
Google預計在12月會把App Inventor原始碼開放出來, 讓所有有興趣的人可以自由修改並發布。 MIT 的行動學習中心將於2012年第一季重新開放App Inventor, 預計使用方式不變。 所以可預期是到時候除了MIT的版本以外, 可能也會有其他不同單位來維護的App Inventor, 甚至有可能有單機無網路版本的App Inventor。
中文版的話也可以做, 就看看有沒有熱心的朋友要和CAVE一同投入囉!
======================================================
Dear App Inventor User,
By the end of 2011 Google will also be making the complete App Inventor source code publicly available under an open source license, so that anyone can study the code and modify it as they desire.
In order to ensure the future success of App Inventor, Google has funded the establishment of a Center for Mobile Learning at the MIT Media Lab. Sometime in the first quarter of 2012, the Center plans to provide an App Inventor service for general public access, similar to the one Google is currently running.
In order for you to continue working with your projects in an open source instance (MIT or otherwise) of App Inventor you will need to download your data from appinventorbeta.com before December 31st and later upload them to an open source instance as it becomes available.
Please visit the App Inventor user forums to get future updates on App Inventor. You can also visit http://mobilelearning. mit.edu/ for updates on what is being done with App Inventor at MIT.
The App Inventor Team
