*Dear App Inventor User,*

As we announced<http://www.appinventorbeta.com/forum/#%21msg/app-inventor-announcements/KOElwBV3sVs/-9b0XUwam90J>on
the App
Inventor Announcement
Forum<https://groups.google.com/forum/embed/?parenturl=http://www.appinventorbeta.com/forum/index.html&showsearch=true&fragments=true#%21forum/app-inventor-announcements>,
Google will end support for App Inventor on December 31, 2011, after which
data in appinventorbeta.com <http://www.appinventorbeta.com/> will not be
accessible and will be deleted from Google servers.  You can preserve your
App Inventor projects by simply clicking on the Download All Projects
button on your My Projects page.  This will download to your computer a
zipped archive of all your projects.  We recommend you retrieve your
projects well before December 31st.


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<http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-mit-center-for-mobile-learning-with.html>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<http://appinventorbeta.com/forum/>to get future updates on App
Inventor.  You can also visit
http://mobilelearning.mit.edu/ <http://mitmobilelearning.org/> for updates
on what is being done with App Inventor at MIT.
