Re: Am I missing something?
I knew about it, but I forgot what it's for. It might be a way for the Scratch Team to beta-test new features on the site, but I'm pretty sure somebody else might know it better.

Re: Am I missing something?
Ooh, note that that website is on an older version of Scratch- it says there are only like 900,000 projects, while, right now, there are around 1,500,000.

What two things? I checked the robots.txt of gamma.dev and there was nothing on it.

I think this is the gamma version of scratch(Hence the name). I also think that "dev" means that it is only for developers.
