Re: Scratch: Imagine. Draw. Share.

Even though I don't have any evidence of art projects receiving more attention than programming ones (simply because I don't check out the front page a lot :-P), such a situation seems pretty believable.

All you see when browsing projects is the title and thumbnail. A thumbnail is something that you look at and say "well, this project has [insert rating] art in it!" This way of presenting projects simply encourages art projects to be recognized more than programming-centered projects.

It's not about what the community likes, it's about the Scratch website being more adapted for artists than programmers. In the end, that is what forms the community's preferences.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

The research I spent over 3 years doing...  I'll work on a little mockup...

If you spent 3 years doing the research, why would you need to do a mockup?

because she wanted to see my research?...

They mean, wouldn't you already have a mockup. And no offence, but I doubt you have been working on it for 3 years. Anyway, I would like to see this research.
