It takes way too long for projects to be made "Public" (aka the Need for Speed)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SQ-616
                 URL: http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-616
             Project: squeakland
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: showcase
            Reporter: Stephen Thomas
            Priority: Critical


Yoshiki mad a comment on his "Conversation 2" project
"For me a new project usually takes 3-5 business days to show up on Showcase, so I need to wait your remix"

This is unacceptable and I think may drive people away from posting to the site, especially kids who will get frustrated and give up if it doesn't go public right away. Then you'll be left with stubborn pains in the ___ like me who think Etoys is a great tool for kids and won't give up until its done right!

I'm all for protecting the kids, but frankly there are way more "bad thing" on the Web and in the world then the possibility of seeing something "improper" in a Etoys project on the Website. I won't go into what my at the time 10, 8 and 6 year kids saw on the Web when a friend was over and I wan't paying attention.

When someone posts a project they want to see it right away and hopefully tell their friends about it. (note: this comment does not refer to me I have no friends I drove them all away with my rants ;)

I apologize if I offended anyone (its just a "gift" I have ;) I just really care about making this great tool better and more widely used by kids.
