Hi all,

I'm not sure this is the proper place to discuss this, but I just felt I
had to write it down.

I've just been taking a look at the Phratch GoogleCode site and I've
noticed there is not a single mention of where the project comes from... As
an opposite example, when Phratch started out a couple years ago, we were
really fast and careful to put out a notice in the Scat site letting people
know that the project had been taken over by another team.

We spent months filing out code from Scratch -a Squeak 2.8 image with
barely any tools available-, we fixed hundreds of issues, we recorded
screenshots, we documented every step we followed, we implemented a way to
save and load projects via Fuel, we got the original Scratch media plugins
to work, etc. but there is no mention of any of this anywhere.

The amount of work we put in the -unfortunately named- Scat project is
huge. We spent more than a year (even some 3-4 months full-time) in it, and
I don't think it's egocentric at all to ask for a little recognition of who
were the people behind the original project and what was the state of Scat
when the Phratch team took over.

I don't mean to sound angry, I'm not. I'm sure no information was omitted
in bad faith, but recognition of other people's work is something I take
very seriously.

:)

Best,
Bernat.
