Announcing the Scratch Connections wiki
I'm excited to announce the launch of the Scratch Connections wiki. This is a wiki specifically about projects using the Scratch Networking Protocol, or "remote sensor connection," allowing scratch to exchange data with other applications.
It contains some getting started information, with instructions, sample python code and the current networking protocol. Hopefully this will be improved and expanded over time, including sample code in other languages.
It also contains documentation of a few projects that I've been involved in, including the code in most cases. I hope that others will add documentation for their projects. I've been hearing about LOTS of cool things that people are doing. I hope that this will be a helpful place to share ideas and code. Anybody can create an account, everything is editable, the wiki system has a nice WYSIWYG editor, and pages can have comments. Enjoy!

Neat stuff! I want to see what kinds of things people will make with this.

Re: Announcing the Scratch Connections wiki
Awesome! I think this will be a great resource for people who are interested in connecting Scratch to the Room with the Blue Ceiling (i.e., the outside world).

To test out the wiki, i converted the quickstart guide to my middleware program and uploaded it:

Eric: I really like the project that maps hearts to the amount of love-its you have on your projects. I played around with it and it works perfectly.

I added a Chat project for Scratch 1.4 (http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/s_federici/636309). Enjoy!

Re: Announcing the Scratch Connections wiki
This sounds very exciting. May I know if there is a simple book on Python I can buy to read as I presume I must know Python to know how to get connected with this wiki stuff? I am really a non-computer person and praying for some extra neurons to understand all this. Would appreciate some advice. Thanks. : )

Re: Announcing the Scratch Connections wiki
Actually BYOB 2.0 has Mesh. But a book I read is 'Python Programming Second edition for the absolute beginner' , I'd say it's actually worth reading not just looking for the codes.

Re: Announcing the Scratch Connections wiki
I like that site. I only recently started using it though.
I have a few questions:
1. I know python, but I don't know anything about socket programming. Where can I learn?
2. must two projects be on the same network to be c0nnected with python like mesh or can they be anywhere?
Could anyone help me? Thanks.

Actually, you can now create accounts.
Anyways, spam cleanup time! Roll up the sleeves and get to work!

Re: Announcing the Scratch Connections wiki
It's locked because of spam - go to the new Scratch Wiki! 
Request an account here, wait a few days, then check here - if it works, you'll get your Scratch Wiki account's password and you're set to go!

Re: Announcing the Scratch Connections wiki
Maybe I should ask for access in deleting all the spam on the site... Oh well, I'll try restarting Scratch Connections on the Wiki we have now.

Re: Announcing the Scratch Connections wiki
Hi all,
I get a 404 error when I try to go to Scratch Wiki get an account link provided by Jonathanpb. I would love to learn more and add my work to the free resources available to educators. Does anyone have a current link?
