My Feeings About Scratch 2.0
Don't we all love rants?
Okay, there are somethings I will be VERY VERY VERY upset about if this happens.
First, the whole making it online without a download is a huge problem. First, I have seen many game makers online and they all completely fail and work horribly. Second, since there's no download, eventually the website will forget your projects if you haven't uploaded them. This could make you lose projects you worked hard on.
Also, what if you just want to work offline? What if you have no internet connection? Then your stuck and can't do anything and since it's online, how are the ones you had on the download able to be transferred onto the site?
If you guys want to be helpful (i.m.o.), I suggest you leave it how it is, add a FEW new features, then just release it for platforms like DSi, iPhone, PSP and other stuff like that. Mainly DSi and iPhone since that has a touch screen so you don't have to move joystick around to move the mouse. And when I mean release it, I mean you can program, play, and share projects. can you say "virtual keyboard"? XD Finally, make mesh so you can connect to other computers outside of your area instead of using python and wasting your time downloading and figuring out how everything works instead of just a couple clicks and type a few things in.

Re: My Feeings About Scratch 2.0
I love heering peoples feeings about things. 
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

If you haven't noticed. Sorry to ruin your rant.
Where? Where did they say that, I can't find it xD
I hate being so curious
You know what I also hate? The 60 second rule.
I want to impale it with a pen, and write I hate you on the wall with the pen xD

So yeah, this rant fails.

TO BE UPDATED
So...why is this in Miscellaneous? This sounds like a suggestion to me:
Suggestion: Don't make it online-only because past experience with other systems (please supply details) have shown that they don't work well in some unspecified fashion (please supply details). Also they don't allow you to back-up your projects.
Does that pretty much capture what you are getting at? I admit that I have some of the same misgivings

Scratch 2.0 will be the best online programming tool in the world, of course. After all, this is Scratch
I'm only a bit worried about Scratch in schools. There are a lot of schools around that have very bad internet connection...

Solution - get a better internet connection.
I mean they are schools.

But yeah, most of the fastest internet connections are schools.

Re: My Feeings About Scratch 2.0
My school wouldn't even think about updating their internet connection, too tight with their slowly disappearing money.

That sounds a little modest. I do believe in giving others the opportunity to use scratch online but, I still do hope that there will be two types of environments for scratch 2.0. Online, and offline. But of course the programming must be the same.

Isn't it funded by the government? Our entire school board has the same connection - meaning each computer has some 50,000 accounts on it
