Combine panther and BYOB
Maybe a huge update to scratch could be that panther and BYOB where combined with it. Think of the possibilities!
Maybe we should wait until they get a way to put projects online first, though.
Just a thought, but I think everyone would love it!

Re: Combine panther and BYOB
I think some features would confuse people to much.
I think a few blocks from them need to be put in scratch though, like the <I received [_]> Block.

Yeah, they can't just take the source code of both mods and smash them together; there would be a lot of recoding involved. And like coolstuff said, a lot of people that use Scratch might find some of the features (especially the ones in BYOB like calling scripts) too confusing.

This would be extremely hard. nXIII changed some key parts of Panther so that it's source is not easily compatible with other Scratch modifications. I know how to change some of it, but I don't know what else he did to change the way the code works.

Panther would be the hardest. They added two new sections I have no idea what they do, and edited blocks to the point where they're no use to me.
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
