Thanks, Im glad you agree. Also it's only a few paragraphs. For me its about 30-45 seconds to read it all.

I think this is a great idea and very well stated!  I would love to be able to categorize projects.  We have been discussing this type of capability for quite awhile now in various Forum threads.

Lots of users think it's a good idea but nobody on the Team has committed to providing the capability yet.  What do you say, Scratch Team?

30-45 second read?! Get out! No way that's possible, unless you don't even really understand the information.

1 minute is impossible
well its possible but its almost impossible to remember everything u just read

I remember suggesting this sort of thing before. It would make it easier to find certain types of projects.

I read over a 1000 words a minute. that means at slowest it would take me.....about that yeah, but a little faster

It matters. It all has to do with your reading level and speed. I can do it pretty easily.

I can read pretty fast too, but only if I wanna

Yeah, I was trying to read very fast. Also, so were not off topic, what do you think about the suggestion?

Good ideas. We should talk about this in the conference. I wonder what could be a good taxonomy of categories. Should it be based on something like what libraries use?

If you look at other popular gaming website, addictinggames, miniclip, etc. they all use a very similar taxonomy. Because of the vast types of projects i will believe we should have a section for completed and uncompleted projects. Also we could have a team of either ScratchR's or Project Moderators to update each section accordingly to what is being made. Also we would need to have the team work ahead of time to make a good list of categories and subcategories. Maybe if we had a poll to see what people liked to look through projects on find. If they had a preference in how many views, love its,  remixes, etc it had. If they liked to see featured projects fro each particular category? If they only liked looking at completed/uncompleted projects? Also becuase of the amount of projects we would need a big team of Moderators/ScratchR's to constantly look for misplaced projects. Sadly I cannot make it to the conference but i would be glad to talk online with the group of people at the conference.

P.S. If this does become an update I would be glad to help with anything that is needed.

I'm with this now. I think games and interactive projects (and movies) should be top viewed/loved etc. And then theres the ones that inform and things like that (saying you're quitting) which have totally seperate categories for top viewed loved etc

Yes that makes a good point. If you could customize your front page with projects in a certain category for top loved. downloaded, remixed, viewed, etc. I would make the Scratch Homepgae a lot more useful.
