I don't know... Have they...? 

Well, you said you were wondering how they chose beta testers, and where you could sign up for beta testing. All of which were in past tense, so I assumed you meant they'd already started beta testing.

I think you could sign up to get updates about Scratch (and beta test) back in the 1.0-1.1 days, long time ago.

Well, there are no more sign-ups now. I signed up back in 2007, and whenever a new version is about to come out, they send me and the others an email. I haven't gotten one for 2.0 yet.

Really? I wish I was on that list. Think you could get me on? 

Meh, too, please!



Please?

Me four.

Too many beta testers would be almost the same as an unintentional leak... 

It'd be nice to beta test it, though - I'd be honored.

Yeah, I know what you mean - With 1.4 they had thumb drives they were giving out at MIT. Some of the users that got them handed it out to other people secretly, causing an unintentional leak. I guess you bring up a good point.

It seems like the Scratch Team is still quite open to suggestions, although you should see some of the stuff their department at MIT has been doing that looks a heckuva lot like a Flash Scratch prototype: http://www.designblocks.net/

this is awesome! It really is just like scratch.

I'd go on the verge of calling it a copy of Scratch. CopyCats!

I'd bet money that the Scratch team probably built this 

Yeah, I'd guess so, too. I wonder why?

Not all of the Lifelong Kindergarten group is working on Scratch, right? It could be a different group... I doubt it though. Eh, well. I still think Scratch is better, though.

Didn't we start something like this in some other thread?
