There’s a big problem with merging much, which is that you have (very reasonably) decided to make a version of BYOB, with all the neat extensions that brings in. I need to make an *exact* Scratch port in order to support the many (actually it seems likely about a million, which is scary) users of current Scratch 1.4 on the Pi. It has to *be* Scratch, not something else.

Later, if time and finances permit (start thinking of ways to lobby Eben Upton to keep supporting me!) I can work on extensions to Scratch like BYOB stuff, Enchanting, S4A etc.

I run your system fairly often for comparison purposes. Some very clever work-arounds to the changes from ancient-Morphic to modern Pharo-morphic, and often they help me spot what I need to do for my work.

I’m pretty sure there are some parts we will be able to share; the techniques for speeding up the tile dragging and script execution ought to be transferrable eventually. The Pi vm should run your image. SimpleSi’s python sensor-driver code should work, allowing you access to PiFace  & Gertduino etc.

When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do
