Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I'd love to be a curator. I love innovative projects, and ones that try different ways of programming.

I'd love to be one. Nobody even pays any attention to me! If my favorites got featured, maybe people would...

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would like to become a Scratch curator because I spend lots of time and effort into my projetcs and I only get a small amount of veiws. Being a Scratch curator would give me a better chance recieving those veiws I don't get. I would post my art-work, my animations and contests. Out of research I've discovered that many Scratchers like a good contest, whether it is colouring, drawing or animating.  smile  Thank you for the oppourtunity

It sounds like SCRATCH will just automatically pick the three recent projects favored by the curator. But if I were curator, I would like some say in which three of my favorites appear on the home page. Would that be possible?

I would also like to see this feature!  I love all the new website add-ons already though!  My favorite one is "Your friend recent projects"...  I think you should add "Games that would interest you" list!  That would be so much cooler!  You could use tags on your own games that connect with games that share the same tags.  (or you could create the Scratch equivalent of X-box gamer-tags that relate to games!  Just like Paddle-2-See's project!)  smile

Anyway...  I would very much like to become a Scratch curator!  My favorite kinds of games are from people who came out of their way to do this or if it is a really cool idea.  Besides that, I have no real preferences fro projects!  I will put some of my favorite projects ever on the top of my favorites list!    big_smile

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

this is a great idea! but how will you chose a curator when there is like 5 requests a day?  It seems like everyone would be disappointed.  Also, i for one do not favorite many projects at all.  IS there anyway to get around that? it seems like being a curator would be very awkward, and you would need to be on scratch A LOT.  am i the only one who thinks this way? or does everyone else favorite a ton of projects?

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would enjoy being curator. I have found many projects that deserve many more views then they currently have. If I'm chosen, I'd pick a variety of projects - Mostly games and simulations that I feel deserve attention.

I have enjoyed Scratch for more than 2 years, and I would jump at the chance to be one.

Thanks.

Woo, even better minecraft clone! | I feel that programming is better than animation, because you can interact with games but not animations.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Why does everybody ask to be a curator???? If you ask you probably won't get picked. What makes you better than someone else that you should get picked????? Everybody just let the Scratch Team pick.

I have a suggestion also. Why not pick unknown's that have decent projects to be curator's. It will not only give the person some popularity instead of certain people and give other people some popularity because it seems people that say they want to be a curator want to pick people that are unknown with good projects.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

technoman: We want to pick only people who are interested in doing it.  The Scratch Team is picking based on the reasons people give to be a curator as well as in their previous history of interactions on the website.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I'd love to be a curator! I'd probably try and favorite projects that seemed to deserve the front page, mainly with no attention. I also love this new addition to Scratch - 2 new places for projects to be on the front page! This will probably make it easier to get front page, and I'm so glad you added it!

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

It's not really about getting your projects viewed, or at least not what I know of. (I think) It's about Favoriting Someone else's projects that have worked really hard on, and still don't get to the front page, I'm not saying that you don't work hard, but limet the ones the you favorite to something like 1.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

You should pick curators who want to benefit the community and not themselves. Also, you should pick curators who are interested in diverse projects and galleries.
