An idea: How about we all work on a list of features for customizing user pages before we start making the mockup? Then it might be more organized. 

I agree!
So far there are many "lists":
I tried to summarize ideas so far:

…

Excellent job of capturing all of the wants and suggestions.   And of carrying forward all of the detail!

Before we start to consider what will work together, I think that there is another group of stakeholders that ought to be interviewed:  The Scratch Team.  As administrators they might have a different want or "want to stay away from" list and as the implementers of Scratch 2.0, they might ask that there be something about the new user page that ties back to at least one of the four stated goals.

Wouldn’t it be fun if one of us could dial into one of their Scratch team meetings for a few minutes and ask Them what They want!

Heres mine http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/werdna123/1275726    -I think you should have a button to choose a ready made one, or be able to import one! 

I'm working on one...

Alright Someone summarise all of the facts. 

Here's my updated summery:

samurai768:
- Changeable background image
- Changeable "featured project"

Lellowsfuzz:
- Changeable background image
- Changeable "featured project"

Jonathanpb:
- Changeable message.
- Arrangeable projects. (drag and drop.)
Lucario621 suggested to sort by date added, most viewed, most loved, most remixed, as well as arrangeable.

what-the:
- Latest section
- Promoted projects section
- Show latest checkbox
- Show promoted checkbox
- Show favorites checkbox

moocow98:
- Separate settings page
  - changeable colors: background, friend box, ignore list, gallery box,
  - featured project? none, newest, top-viewed, choose proj.
  - show message? checkbox, and changeable message.

lilacfuzz101:
- Changeable backgrounds
- Changeable message.
- Projects sortable by favorites, top loved, top viewed.
- A place for comments at the bottom of page.
Later listed:
"
changeable background
messages on userpage
ability to arange projects.
"

Lucario621:
- "Change color" link that shows color pickers for parts.
- Uploadable background or color. able to flag as inappropriate.
- changeable message (300 chars max.)
- sort by date, views, love-its, remixes

Digimath:
- arrangeable projects.
   - ability to select a project then a button to take that project to the front of the list.

fg123:
- rearrange sections. "Move the whole project section to the top, and move your user details to the bottom, or viceversa!"

Survivorduck:
- "AWARD SELECTED PROJECTS: Place an award on your 5 best projects, It will appear as a blur dot under the picture-thingy"
- Changeable bio
- Changeable background/color, can upload image.

ScratchDude101:
- Make a user page look like a YouTube channel. (like mine)
- Choose either Center or Tile for your background image
- Make the sidebar where all your uploads and favourites are the same for projects
- Make that huge box where a video you want to feature goes(Choose a favourite, make it so it displays{and toggle on and off autoplay} your most recently uploaded project, or a specific one of your projects).
- etc.

AddZero/JTxt (my list):
- All projects and resources the user made and likes in the same list/gallery.
- Make it easy for the user and visitors to filter the list by:
  - what the user made/likes,
  - projects/resources (sprites, costumes, backgrounds, scripts),
  - tags (the user added or agrees with).
  (...with hopefully the easiest to understand and use faceted search UI.)
- Changable featured project or resource. (drag and drop from the filtered list.)
  - with short changeable request for help for attention.  (also shown as a signature when leaving comments.)
- Star or "favorite" things to make them sticky at top of the filtered and unfiltered list.
- Changable colors (perhaps background image too.)
- Changeable bio
- Also option to pick from a set of background/color schemes, like twitter.

Lightnin*:
- All customizable items flagable.
"1. All customizable parts of the page -like background images, and text for the user's "status"- should be flagable, even if it just has a small flag icon next to it. "
- Simple, easy to understand interface; not confusing or scary.
"2.The interface must be simple enough so that someone with no experience programming will feel comfortable with it. They don't have to be able to understand and take advantage of all customizability on their first glance (although, that would be a nice goal). But it shouldn't feel confusing or scary at all, or interfere with the process of signing up, logging in, and getting started."

werdna123:
- Changeable bio
- Changeable background/color

terminator68:
- "Show Background" button. When you press it, everything except the navigation bar at the top (project icons, user icon, galleries, and favorites included) will disappear, so the background is visible!
- Changeable background/color

-----------------------------------------------------------

Some of the most suggested ideas:
- Changeable background image or color, uploadable image.
- Changeable bio or message.
- Changeable featured project.
- Projects sortable by favorites, top loved, top viewed. (by popularity on the site.)
- Projects arranged by the user, (by what the user thinks of the project.)
- Comments section.
- All customizable items flagable.

Wow! nice, and thanks!

I am going to post a mockup soon.

You know what might help? Making this a (shorter run time) Scratch Design Studio theme. that way a lot more scratchers would make mockups and you could get a lot more ideas. just an idea. 

Bump 

Nice mockup Rocksandfire!

That is awesome! The best one I think. I also want to be able to change the background.
