Heh. Okay, I guess we'll see this tomorrow... ;)

I hope that everything works well, as I tried to add them manually. That 
will turn out in the next snapshot, which should be ready tomorrow.

Hm, we'd need some books to grab (preferable from a.sl.o)...

Well, this is kind of strange. I can see it's wiki page on laptop.org 
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/Scratch), but it seems like if it 
doesn't even have a GIT repo anymore (!) - that seems to be unavailable.

As far as I know, it has also not been migrated to SugarLabs, either, so 
I'm a bit lost. Is there still any development on this?

IRC is working here.

Colors is reporting that it cannot find 'proper binary blobs' (fails 
with 'from colorsc import *'), and so is Bounce (fails with 'from pongc 
import *'). Maybe we're still missing some dependencies, I'm not yet 
sure... probably the activity maintainers know.
