For sure, not !

Yes, we already discussed about that with Tim.
Our goal is not the same.
I don't want to say something wrong, but Tim want to do Scratch on a recent
Squeak, then including BYOB. He is working hard to integrate it on RPi.
Phratch is something different: it is based on Scratch, but the goal is to
be as much extendable as possible. For example, I use it for robotics. This
is not possible in Scratch. Yes there is Enchanting, but it is based on a
plugin if I understood well.
Another goal is to access to Smalltalk code. As a good learning language, I
think that using phratch should help developers to learn smalltalk, which
is not a goal of Scratch.

So, as I said, we already discussed with Tim, and I am sure we will reuse
our work. If I remember, Tim already has a look at phratch source code. For
my part, if Tim do plugins that work on RPi, I will probably use them.
And I hope to meet Tim at ESUG if he will come to discuss about all of that.

Cheers,
Jannik
