Scratch

HISTORY:
Founded on 12/21/12, we started with the name Community Computer Systems Inc.  Our leader, Firedrake969, had a vision that his project, List OS, could become cloud-based so everyone on Scratch could have their own OS in 2.0.  We are a new collaboration, so more will come soon!

Updated.

Anything you want me to know:

I love the idea - users of the OS could interact with each other through Scratch 2.0's cloud system, sharing files, programs or just chatting over the cloud. c: I'll apply.

Length of time on Scratch: About 4 years. Joined October 2008 c:

Best area on Scratch: Programming, because I believe music isn't a "Scratch skill".

How good you are in that area: I haven't Scratch-ed in ages, but I do have experience in other programming languages. Nevertheless, I know Scratch's features and what it can do pretty well. 8/10, perhaps?

Activity: I'm active in the forums every day. I never post projects, however.

Best project: I don't know; all my projects are old, don't show any particular programming skill and definitely don't reflect what I could do for this project. But...

Anything you want me to know:

...I created list-based OSes before you were even registered sonny  (Scratch-DOS - 3 years old). I've been in love with the idea since a while, and definitely want to contribute to make a better one; the best one, possibly.

As we got a while to wait before Scratch 2.0 goes on public beta, I believe we should start designing the OS's structure and functionality before even placing a single block. I already have some ideas and I'm willing to help in this process.

I think List OS could use a graphical interface (like Windows was for DOS) - not every Scratch user is big on command lines precisely    We can take care of this after the functional OS is done.

(whew that was long)

EDIT: What does a deputy do, in this collab?

In, won't need any graphics.

Best area on Scratch: Programming (I think that creative thinking and originality is needed to get the outcome you wish in programming. I have a lot of it ^^ )
How good you are in that area: On a scale from 0 to 10, Id say 8. I know how to do a lot of things, but not a scroll game  . Can't make a scroll game but I can make a search engine XD
Activity: Im on about every day. I have robotics a lot so It might just be a few posts on weekends.
Best project: none
[optional] Anything you want me to know: I deleted most of my projects when someone said that they expected more out of one of my projects and said it was pretty bad. I decided to start fresh. But if you wish, I could make you something to prove that Im pretty good.

In.  Make a good list-based program or algorithm, and I'd appreciate it.

Have you seen my prototype List OS?

Oh.

I did check it out - it's pretty nice.

A week after I started, I had.... the vision.

It still should need some sort of GUI

It will be a list.

I believe a graphical interface would be good once it's finished, as an add-on, but now we should focus in figuring out how we can make it cloud-based.

Apart from the obvious need to store user data in a cloud list (as cloud lists are exclusive to projects - users will have to use the same project and their data will be stored in the list), I believe we should let users visit and create "cloudsites" (geddit? It's not a web, but a cloud :3), and create apps in a simple scripting language, that may then be stored in the cloud.

Here are some notes of mine about this and various topics.

Yep.  Well, on the alpha [List OS], we use commands.  We should use the command web to open up the cloud.  Users can get permission to create a cloudsite through us, and we're admins.

Might be my more liberal way of thought, but I believe everyone should be able to upload their own cloudsite, in any amount. Inappropriate ones can be erased by us, and their creators banned, through built-in admin tools (using the "user ID" block as verification of course).

I believe the commands "browser" or "cloud" might be more fitting, if we're using the pun "cloudsite". 

Yea.  About uploading their own cloudsite, if you're a tester, you'd know that someone's chat bans you if you say hello because it contains h*ll.  If it gets front paged and a thousand people see it, we'd have a hard time erasing 200 sites.  Hmmmm... dilemma.  I wish everyone could upload a cloudsite, but also see the problems in that.  Maybe everyone is able to upload a cloudsite, but then they lose the privilege if it has bad content?
