This app is in active development. It is an open source project. It’s first version was a rough and ready working proof of concept, the second version (autoEdit2) was originally created as part of a Knight-Mozilla fellowship by Pietro Passarelli with the Vox Media product team. This last version was initially started as one of the BBC News Labs open source projects (Digital Paper Edit).

The current version has been renamed to autoEdit 3 extending autoEdit 2 and digital paper edit philosophy, features and functionalities further.

You can contribute and/or propose ideas you have for this project.

autoEdit.io is free and open source. Free as in free speech as well as in free beer.
