Scratch

Yeah... the problem with collaborations is that they:

• have trustworthy members
   • completes successfully
      • gets famous - users are proud
      • is unrecognized - users are discouraged from future collaborations
   • falls apart due to arguments
      • unresponsible users try and start their own collaboration
      • responsible users are in trouble
• random users, some not trustworthy
   • flaming, no agreements
      • the thread is closed, but emotions still run
      • the collaboration is ended
   • good users hold it together
      • efforts do no good - it falls apart anyway
      • it can struggle to completion
• no collaboration - just yourself
   • hard work pays off - the project is completed
      • no fame - but you can make another
      • fame - all successful
   • you make all the descisions, no arguments
   • freedom to work when you choose, no pressure

Well... that's my opinion.

I don't think all collaborations fail. I think that you can have the wrong kind of members, but if you have the right ones that you can trust and they trust you, then you will have a good collab. And of course collabs will have small agruments about whether to do this or do that, but the end product can be great. And plus they are fun to be in because you can learn things from other users.

I'm horrible at collabs.

I work much better by self, and always have. 

Hmm... well you could have fooled me. Seems like you guys are working on some cool stuff! What are some of the difficulties you've had with collabs?

Yep - collaboration can be tricky. Even the Scratch Team has (respectful) arguments about Scratch! But in the end the arguments / disagreements help to make the project better. So at least some disagreement seems to be useful.

How about the ability to send projects to collaborators without uploading them to the scratch website (the collaborators might get a notification like "username has sent you the file "File name.sb. Click to download.) and the ability to send other collaborators notifications without posting comments.

Like e-mail on scratch. That one will be the greatest. Then you can send passwords and things without other people knowing.

Like Pming? or internal mail?

This would be great if scratch could collab more easily. These are all such great ideas!

It would be cool if right below your location you could say what company/companies you're in!

hey, that's actually a pretty good idea!

Thats a good idea, but wouldn't we have to have a registering thing and exceptions? So people dont just go and say their in a company and not actualy be in it?
Maybe a new section, like next to galleries "Companies"

I put my own company in because i wanted to, 

Edit, added new conecpt art.

Interesting, but I think you should call it 'collaborations', not 'companies'

Something's telling me that you're responding like that to every post so your count can go up...

Spelling mistake,

Edit: Fixed the spelling mistake.

The first one looks good, the bottom two aren't showing up.

Same for me.

Glad I'm not alone.
