I think a featured user, would be great! It would be a user who was not really heard of, but makes good projects. I think one per week would work well...

Re: Featured User

This would be good because not everyone can get there projects on the front page. I got one of my projects in the scratch design studio and it still never made the front page  sad

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: Featured User

I would definitely support it, because I hate it when hard work goes unappreciated. It works well with YouTube, giving unheard-of users a chance to shine.

So I hope this gets through...

Re: Featured User

smile  This would be a great idea. Giving chance of unnoticed scratchers to go on the front page! Maybe it would be like:

Scratcher of the week: (username)
1 project     2 project       3 project

??  hmm


Hai.

I like this idea, but I think once a week is to long, maybe once a day?

Re: Featured User

Agreed...


How would the users be chosen, though? Would the Scratch Team go around looking for them, or would users nominate themselves?

doing it once a day would be extremely challenging for the scratch community, whether it be the scratch team, moderators or even the scratchers. It would just be too much work and possibly too much of a distraction.


Here's a project that I think will really help people out

Maybe there could be three users per week, all displayed at once, like the featured projects, but with a separate row?  hmm

This is truly hard to think about in terms of a normal user on Scratch. I don't really think this idea would be best thing to implement since this community is focused around a low target age and the younger users here might feel like the "Featured User(s)" might of been picked unfairly. I think that the purpose of the "Curator" slot on the homepage was a alternative to "Featured User(s)" because it is fair since multiple users can be put on that list.

Great thinking, otherwise.  smile
