Hi Miry,

Ah - yes  - we do plan to also offer a version of Scratch 2.0 that can 
be downloaded so that users can still work on projects offline. It will 
likely run as a local flash application. It's still probably about 1 
year out though.

Your improved package sounds great - can you say a bit about what you've 
changed / added / fixed?
