Scratch

Word from the Scratch Team is that some form of commenting ability will be released sometime this summer!

A possibly interesting link would be:

This is the wiki for the activities (programs) on the XO (the olpc machine). If you scroll that page down to the category "Programming" you'll find the  download link for an alpha version of Scratch 1.3 (!) for the XO. You can download that file, rename the suffix .xo to .zip, extract it under Windows/Mac and open the file named ScratchXO.image with a Scratch application or a Squeak VM.

Once you've got this Scratch v.1.3 alpha running, try right-clicking on the background in the scipts pane. Voila , there you have your new comment post-its! (there are also some other interesting things to be discovered...). But please remember: The fonts look much bigger because the XO has a much higher screen resolution, also alpha/beta-versions generally tend to produce incompatible project files, so never upload them or rely on them.

Thanks for the update on this Jens.  This information fits right into a paper that I am working on having to do with the future of computer science education in terms of the probable technical capabilities of prospective students.
