Scratch

If it is a virus, it's not so smart to post a link to it! 

Any idea when this will be released? It would be awesome if it arrived right with Scratch 2.0, but that's a long time to wait... 

Sounds awesome coolstuff! I've been looking for a better way to do collaborations for Scratch. It sounds like you've got a solid idea in your head of what the website should be like.

I'll post any suggestions I think of 

I guess I'm sort of bumping this up for you.    How's it going with the Lab? 

Can I beta test? 

When it's ready, maybe. But it's nowhere near completion at this point.

So, I'm redesigning the layout to make it look a little more Scratch-like, and realized I still need some sort of a slogan. Anybody want to help me come up with one? Something to the same format as the Scratch website's "Imagine - Program - Share."

By the way, don't expect this to come out for another couple months at least.

Tough, the only thing that I have come up with the is even remotely related, although it is in the wrong order:
Imagine - Program - Pair

Doesn't work. So nevermind. Don't use it.

Collaborate - Communicate - Imagine

How's that?

Lemmie know if you like it. 

Imagine Communicate Collaborate...

Both fg123's and iCode-747's suggestions are amazing - though pretty much identical, fg123's seems to be in a better order. I was impressed by both of them, though

Sounds cool! I'd love to help with php/mysql/js, etc if the need arises.

Thanks for the offer! At the moment, this is a solo project, but I'll call on you (and a few other people who volunteered) if I should need to 

Incidentially, I was looking at registering a Scratch-related domain for, eh, similar purposes, but amazingly s.crat.ch and scratch.er are unavailable 

Really? Might I ask what these "similar purposes" are?

There appears to be a problem: the words are too long to fit in the space! I love the words, but my layout isn't flexible enough... Making the words smaller takes the emphasis away from them...

Any other suggestions?

Collaborate - Collaborate - Collaborate

How about something like:
Imagine - Interact - Produce (well, eh... Produce does not quite fit...)

That's good! So far I have Imagine - Interact- Create as a placeholder, but if you have anything better to suggest I'd be happy to hear it!

My question is, how do you plan to handle communication if there is no private messaging? I am imagining a system where a user can create a collaboration (sort of like a private gallery, maybe with a Facebook-style "discussions" feature) and only invite certain people to it. Is that what you have in mind?

It would be something of an open comments feature - something like these forums, actually, though there would really only be one thread, though that does bring up a good concept of multiple topics. I'll sit on that for a while 

I actually brought up different types of collaborations, which sort of addresses this:

I wrote:

Open - Allow anyone to add and view projects, and discuss the collaboration.
Medium - Only members of your collaboration may add projects, anyone can view and discuss.
Closed - Only members of your collaboration may add, view, or discuss projects in the collaboration.
Hidden - The collaboration will be invisible to anybody who is not a member of said collaboration; membership is by invite only.

As for the "similar project", I've been planning to implement my own Scratch upload site, just for kicks. I would love to register http://scratch.er, but unfortunately .er domain names are associated with the nation of Eritrea and they're not open for registration. 

I considered making a Scratch upload site, too, but I settled on this

Keep us posted, ScratchLabs sounds fascinating.

Thanks!

How about this for a slogan:
Imagine | Connect | Exchange ...?

That sounds good, too. "Exchange" seems a bit better than "Create..." But it's still not awfully great. I'll see what others have to say.

Exchange sounds kind of off, how about DESTROY or PROFIT instead?
