Thanks Keith,
What impresses me about both Hackety-Hack and Scratch is that they are
both tri-platform: working on Linux, Mac and Windows;
meaning that I can use them to teach on the Ubuntu boxes in my school,
and the kids can carry on with either the Windows or the Linux
versions at home.
My 10-year old son and all his mates are using Kodu Game lab at school
http://fuse.microsoft.com/page/kodu. I can't get him interested in doing the
LiveCode summer academy for a game. :-(
Best,
Keith..

But then they'd need a canned set of lesson plans.
Certainly the Hackety-Hack website is rather well set out; and, frankly,
I much prefer what I can see there to the Scratch stuff (too Lego-like for
comfort).
Our friends (muffled cough) (are you reading this Kev?) could do well to
meditate on this a bit.
The kids who will be messing around with Hackety-Hack today will be doing great
things with Ruby very shortly.
I cannot see how RunRev would lose if they released, say, Dreamcard 2.6 as a
FREE thing,
or, even, RR 2 (which had standalone building capabilities.
I know they want to earn money (and who doesn't????), that is quite
understandable; but I am sure releasing something
of the order of the above with a dozen reasonably well thought-out lessons
would bounce back in a financially favourable
way in due course.

Why do I feel that RunRev's "odd" behaviour with RevMedia has meant
that they may have missed an important chance?
