Question

Project Lincoln - status?

Greetings,

Let me preface this by stating I didn't know where to posit this question as it's not a product yet (to my knowledge). But it fits best in the Illustrator forum I think as it relates to making Infographics.

The company I work for is very much interested in the status of "Project Lincoln". It was presented by Bernard Kerr back in October 2017 at Adobe Max's "Sneak Peeks". I have tried to find out the status of this but haven't gotten anywhere.

Is this still being developed, or was it migrated into an already existing product that I'm not aware of?

Could anyone shed some light on this? The response was overwhelmingly positive in the comments, so I'm hoping this wasn't dropped.

Regards,

Tom

      I met with the head of Project Lincoln during www.creativeproweek.com in Seattle just a few weeks ago. It is still in development and gaining support at Adobe. I wouldn't expect it out anytime soon, but I did get to see a real working version of it first hand and the potential is extremely positive. But at a guess, it's probably a couple of years away.

        Bumping this.  I would love for someone from Adobe to respond to this question.  The archaic graph tool in illustrator is so far behind the times and this project looked so impressive when it was revealed.  It's coming up on 4 years since then.  Seems like they should either release it the way it is and note that they are abandoning support of it, or announce when they expect it to be part of CC.

          I hate how they have handled this almost as much as I hate how they have treated the graph tool.

          I haven't seen much more about it, but after a quick search, I found that it was mentioned on an Adobe blog from 11/26/2018 A Picture is Worth a Million Data Points | Adobe Blog.​ However, that blog was for the Experience Cloud, not the Creative Cloud. So I don't know if that means anything, but maybe it's at least a good sign that folks within Adobe have continued to mention it.

          Someone from Adobe needs to chime in on this question.

            as far as i'm informed, Adobe did not agree internally whether to be #ProjectLincoln a product of its own or as part of Illustrator. (Once again they miss the chance here.)
