Scratch

How about people can ask others to post ads on their projects!

It's awesome 

If Scratch 2.0 includes a way to have people use Scratch (program) without having to download the Scratch program and the .sb file, then there should be a way where many people can work on a project simultaneously.

Right now one of the the biggest problems with collaborations is that you need so bulky way of transmitting the file, and while one person is working on their part, no one else can work on the project.

You should be able to work on a project on the website and save the changes on the website so other members can work on one part while you're working on another and you won't have to combine the changes, they'll all already be in one project.

For this to happen without someone messing up the project (joining the collab just to delete all the scripts and ruin everyone else's hard work), two things should happen. First, one person should be "in charge" of the collab and have the ability to revert anyone's changes. And second, you should also be able to save the project as a .sb file on your disk, so you can keep backups.

Indeed.

yes. like Newgrounds does.

About the "work on a project on the website and save the changes" part, you could download the project and if you're the same person that created the project, make it have the same name as the project(don't change it) and it will replace the old one.

Since Scratch 2.0 is going to be online, there could be a collab mode where two or more users can chat with each other, show scripts, art and other things and then eventually after both have worked on the same program they upload it and it automatically gives credit to all the people who worked on it. Maybe there should be a filter for the chat so if you type in a bad word the chat filter senses what you said and doesn't allow you to say it. And both people should be able to work on the project at the same time. Maybe there should be a box that shows the other persons Scratch Screen so you can see what there doing and send a thing that appears beside a script with a comment you wrote telling them that it might mess up the script you made. This should also be available for the download version. But there should be folders in Scratch that get saved online or something so it isn't confusing.

There's always the chance that people will use it as a chat program, which scratch discourages. But that would be a good idea, and they've already said that there will be a downloadable version.

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

The only problem, is that, that's very similar to private messaging, which the Scratch Team will NEVER add/do.

If you could only send passwords, and attach projects, then it wouldn't be so much like private meassaging.

Like a "Add Into Project and Save" button, that doesn't overwrite but files in the changes?

We're really interested in Collaborations / Companies because we think it's great when Scratchers work together to make interesting projects. One of our goals for Scratch 2.0 is to better support collaborations like these, so we'll be checking in from time to time to see how things are going, and to learn from your experiences.

If you have thoughts about how we can better support collaborations by Scratchers, please feel free to share them in the Suggestions forum. We often check in to consider the different ideas - especially those that Scratchers have spent time thinking through or demonstrating.

Scratch On!

Can't wait for 2.0!

me neither!

One Way This Could Work Is to Have a "username's Companies" tab under the bookmarked galleries on a scratchers page

A way to do the whole "update thing" in my opinion is to make it so that as you change it, it refreshes it after you hit a button. Then, for the "collab messaging" you can have like a little broadcast go along with it that others can read and respond to.
