Several years ago, I packaged up Scratch 1.4 -- the visual

64 bit clean) and upstream for this line is dead (as Scratch 2.0 is
based on Adobe Air -- and hopefully _soon_ HTML5).
I'd like to let go of ownership of the package, and unless someone
else
really wants to invest time into it, I think retiring it completely
is
the way to go.
FWIW, I'm using Scratch on Fedora to teach programming at our school
(based on your recommendation at DevConf 2014), but we're currently
using a custom RPM that contains Scratch 2.0, the Adobe Air version.
1.4 was just too buggy (and was also missing some features that kids
were using on Scratch 2.0 on their Windows systems at home).
I'd say, "Let it go." And then burst into one of my daughters'
favorite songs.
