First and foremost - WOW and thank you! I had been trying to decide on a programming language/environment for a summer technology camp I will be teaching and I believe I have just found it. This was particularly driven home when I put it on the 'house' computer tonight and my 9 and 10 year olds just started using it with no instruction. Had to rip them away to send them to bed.
"At the end of April, we will release Scratch 1.1, which will introduce several more improvements (including a "repeat until" block)."
Any thoughts about release dates for 1.1?

I'm also impatient for a repeat block with a condition. I would prefer repeat-while to repeat-until though. That is
1) the test should be done *BEFORE* entering the code block
2) the test should be positive (if condition, do code and repeat, else go on)
I'm very afraid that you are going to do the awkward "do code once, then test for exit" block, which gets used *far, far* less often in programming languages that provide both.
