Sorry Tim, I failed to see "button on the website".
I think #3 is good.

> As feared, people are thinking that saving to "My Squeakland" is a private thing, not a public thing.
> There will be many who simply try it out, not expecting to have ballots sent out.
> Initially, we intended to have a "make public" checkbox in the project info or save dialog, but we weren't able to get this done for Etoys 4.
> The option really needs to be within Etoys itself.  Ultimately, we'll have a "Share" box, that combines project info and "save" (which is a misnomer anyway), similar to the one in Scratch.
> We've got three solutions I can see to this problem:
> 1) change the wording of "My Squeakland" to indicate "and it'll go public" (at least for now)
> 2) add the "make public" checkbox to Etoys 4 anyway
> 3) keep everything private, requiring the user to click a "Make public" button on the website.
> Option #3 is easy to do on the server, though it's a separate step.  I can make it clear in the "Thank you for your project" email, with a link in the email to make public.   Only at that time would ballots be sent out.
> Thoughts?
