Scratch

I use remote sensor connections (like mesh) to make a chat-room in Scratch. Currently, it has a topic in Advanced Topics. However, not many people look in Advanced Topics because, well...it's advanced. I would normally go to Show and Tell, however I'm worried that it will confuse New Scratchers--you have to understand a thing or two about programming to get it to work. It's one of those situations where you can only do it right if you have first-hand experience.

Here's my question: should I leave the topic in Advanced Topics, or get it moved to Show and Tell. Another way I was thinking about was to have the official topic in Advanced Topics, and have a dumbed down version with a link to Advanced Topics in Show and Tell. Would this be considered a duplicate topic?

you should say FOR ADVANCED SCRATCHERS if you put it in Show and Tell.

That's what I'm trying to avoid--this solution wouldn't make a difference.

Anyways, there are some New Scratchers who think that they are great at programming, but are still have average programming skills--I want to have to avoid dealing with their questions. (they are the type of questions which have a paragraph long answers, and the target audience doesn't even think about it...)

If you put it in Show and Tell, you're attracting a bigger audience, so of course you're going to get Scratchers who are less experienced. If you don't want a lot of this, I'd suggest you'd put it in Advanced Topics (mostly since that's the reason for this category). Unfortunately, there's no middle-ground between here.

I want a bigger audience...I just don't want to deal with the people who think that they can handle the advanced version, but should really use the dumbed-down version.
