Re: ITopic: An un-brief history of Scratch

I just finished reading the whole book! WOW!  yikes   wink  It looks like you put a ton of time into it, and it is very informative! I like how you included quotes from users and the scratch team.  wink  I don't really have any ideas for chapters... I suppose you are pretty caught up with things, until another event happens... I saw that list of old Scratchers that are still active. Maybe I would fit in there. I joined in November 2007, and only about 5 Scratchers are still active from 2007, so maybe you could add me.

Wow I can't believe I hadn't noticed this  big_smile

Nice history of Scratch, very comprehensive!

One thing, Scratch Day came at about the same time as 1.4 not 1.3.

No, there was a Scratch day around 1.3, and then another around 1.4.
EDIT: Oops! I confused the Scratch @ MIT Conference with Scratch day!

Cool! I was first used Scratch summer 2007, and thought it was mediocre.
In mid-February 2008, I accidentally clicked the Scratch icon on my computer, and then I was taken into the world. I used 1.1 for a while after 1.2 came out, and finally made the switch in mid-to-late 2008.

Shazam! Honestly, I was most blown away by how committed and passionate these people are about the Scratch project. This really got me pumped up about getting started.

Cheers!

I don't know if this would fill a whole chapter, but you could make a chapter for the new Remix Visualization.
