It’s first version was a rough and ready proof working of concept, the second version (autoEdit 2) 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).

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