What is a curator?-A guide about curators

First of all, "What is a curator?"

A curator is a person who selects works to be shown on display. In a museum, that is.

On Scratch, a curator is one who chooses projects to display on the front page.

Second, how can I be one?

You can apply to be one here: here.


How often does it change?

Every two weeks.


How do they curate?

They add the project to their favorites; their latest three favorites are the ones on the front page.



Now, some questions and answers from the Curator side.

"Help! What do I curate? I'm running out of projects!"

Well, try to curate less often, maybe instead of one project every two days, one every 3 or 4. You could make a forum thread "do you want your project curated?".


What do I curate?

You can curate anything -- try to follow what you said in your speech. Try not to curate anything too famous, like with too high views, or anyone famous.


Help! I want to curate an already featured project! [question submitted by Jonathanpb]

Well, all you have to do is unfavorite it, and favorite it again! It should appear at the top of the list and ready for curation!

Any questions I should add here?

Re: What is a curator?-A guide about curators

You could have simply linked to Scratch Wiki - but the article isn't an FAQ about curator stuff, so meh  tongue

Nice questions and answers, though you might want to add "Help, I want to curate a project that I've already favorited!"  smile
