Adobe has canned Project Rome just a month after it unveiled the Flash-based content creation and publishing application.
Released as a public beta at the end of October, Rome was designed to provide non-technical users with an intuitive way to generate digital content.
But the company has now decided that its priorities lie elsewhere.
‘After weighing this initiative against other projects currently in development at Adobe, we have made the difficult decision to end efforts on Project Rome,’ Adobe said.
“We are focusing resources on delivering tablet applications, which we believe will have significant impact on creative workflows.’
Adobe will no longer develop the software, but will continue to make the public beta available on its Labs website. The education version of the software, however, will be removed.
The company will contact Rome Users regarding the status of websites hosted at the project-rome.com domain. It recommends using the ‘SWF (Flash Player Compatible)’ output channel to save the files required to republish your website with another hosting provider.
