POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:

We could...

- Forget the flash idea altogether, although they're probably pretty far into it at this point. As of scratch day 2011, they had already recreated scratch 1.4, minus the drawing part
- Talk the scratch team into making video tutorials of flash They wouldn't
- Get the team to make a squeak version They wouldn't
- Have a collab, where squeakers could contribute bits of code to a forum topic, and help the scratch team to recreate 2.0 possible, but why should we
- Or wait till it's done, get the scratch team to put up all the images they used for the interface, and we could make scratch ourselves. Then we could send the finished product to the scratch team, and they could look over it, and do anything complex that we did wrong or left out. that the previous suggestion, and the sourcecode will be available for 2.0, in fact, if I had adobe flash professional, I could be modding it right now 
- Put a download link to 1.4 on the website, and mod Scratch 1.4 instead. Thats going to be able, but thats not really different than what we are currently doing.
- Make patch for scratch 1.4 with the added blocks. But just use scratch 2.0 then

The whole reason they are remaking it, is because squeak isn't powerful/fast enough.

they are making a squeak version for people with slow internet.

No, they're not. The offline version is still going to be in Flash (more precisely adobe AIR, I think).

I'll support. I am working on a mod, but it won't be done before 2.0. I will probably just rebuild it in flash. If flash is expensive, wouldn't more modding have to be done with just scratch?
