Scratch

That seems good Kevin but I would rather have something where you just say how much you liked it.

Thanks alot!

I would have thought "love-its" already did this.

Or perhaps a display of how many people have it as a favourite would be a more accurate assesment of how "good" a project is.

Graham's idea was great, but maybe whoever get's the best rating, every once in a while, could recieve a special reward for many liking their games! But what would the prize be? Maybe someone could post ideas on here what the prizes could be! But on this forum only?    This could be a secret between the users of this forum until someone else checks it out, so no one will copy this idea!

Yeah, a special Scratch prize would be cool, like having a little trophy picture with a golden Scratch cat on it for first, a silver for second, a bronze for third, and a ribbon for fourth on the project.

I got the idea for a prize based on this website:

www.stardoll.com
(Not appropriate for all ages!)

They have a CoverGirl/Boy each day that get the best ratings! If you win, you get a large amount of stardollars (stardoll money) and a CoverGirl/Boy ribbon!

If they allowed gallery *owners* to be the ones to add and delete projects from their galleries, with project owners only able to suggest projects to the gallery owners, this functionality would be automatically taken care of!

Hi agree that Galeries would be better mantained if there was the option for them being invite-only, and co-mantained.I don't think people (be them kids or grown-ups) would be terribly upset not having their projects/"memberships" accepted, since they could try either with other groups/galeries, or create one from scratch themselves.

My idea for galleries is not to have them be "invite only" but to have them be more like magazines or journals.  People can submit pieces (solicited or unsolicited), but the editor chooses what goes in.

One difference is that the scratch sharing license allows free copying, so editors could put stuff in their galleries without waiting for a submission from the creator (though it should retain the original authorship of the project, as the current galleries do).

What I'd like is for owners of galleries to be able to click on *any* project and do "add to gallery" for any gallery that they own.  I'd like for owners of projects to be able to click on "submit project to gallery".

The owner of the gallery should be able to see both the accepted projects in the gallery and the submitted projects, with check boxes to accept or reject projects from the gallery.  Good gallery owners might add a comment to every project that they accept or reject.  It might be nice for the gallery owner to be able to put a comment in the *gallery* next to each project, so that someone browsing the gallery could know whether they want to visit the project based on the editor's comment, rather than just on the author's project description.

Right now, you can only see comments about the project by going to the project, and the download time makes that an unpleasant prospect for many people on slower connections (plus artificially inflating "views" for projects that you turn out to dislike).
