"community curated sprite collection"

this spoke briefly about a community-curated sprite collection for projects. i assume these would be the default sprites you can import. can you tell me more about this? it sounds like a wonderful idea. i would be glad to contribute.

JSO has been exploring this – basically, the idea is that Scratchers could voluntarily contribute sprites, scripts, and images to a community library. Scratchers could then browse / search this when looking for stuff to use in their own projects. Just like the current sprite library, but dynamic, and growing.

how would you choose which ones to accept, or who gets to contribute? i wouldn't want certain sprites of mine being included, but other people could add them as their own.

Like Scratch Resources?

@wes: Sprites in your projects can be used by anyone already, so I imagine it's a moot point?

Presumably similar but incorporated into the program.
That would be great! Integrate it in form as a “Share Costume” button and open a small dialog for Name & Description

Also, mods that review them.

I volunteer.

Awesomeness! So basically you can ‘share’ a costume and it goes by a mod or admin before being imported into the sprites folder? If so, then I would like to volunteer to be a mod for that, if you don't already have some picked.

This account quit, but I'm still active on my other account, SilverEagle.

Hey! Are you not sure what you shouldn't be doing on Scratch? Reread the Community Guidelines, they'll help.

not exactly. sprites in the community library are going to get used a whole heck of a lot more than being in a project - and like i said id like to ensure the things i draw get uploaded under my own name and credit.

So it's pretty much like scratch resources?

I'll just say it: I'm an admin/mod on SR (a very inactive one at that, but I think there hasn't been much activity ), I can approve new items there.

Keep hacking. It’s what bushing would have wanted.

Well, if something is integrated into the system, I would hope it works like remixing, where it automatically adds credits for your use of someone else's thing.
