MIT's Clutter http://clutter.mit.edu lets you collaborate by linking Scratch projects. Currently, the Scratch web site lets you create galleries. Clutter offers three ways to bring projects together: 1. Story Clutters allow you order projects sequentially (e.g., such as in chapter books). 2. Secret Word Clutters requires users to type in a secret word to move to the next project in a sequence. 3. Link Clutters allow you to go to any project inside a Clutter if you know the link word that is associated with the project. To move from project to project, you can now click the red and green arrows in story Clutters, or type in the secret word or link word and click the button in secret word and link Clutters, respectively. Scratch project creators can move to the next project in story and secret word Clutters by broadcasting. Clutter projects present programmers with the types of challenges they will face as software engineers when working on large scale projects: collaboration, modularity, and versioning. The Clutter website will also be a test bed for new ideas that can help shape the development of Scratch 2.0.
