[DrScratch] Inquiries about Dr. Scratch and Potential Collaboration

[Gregorio Robles]

  Dear Wenjing,

  we would be pleased to collaborate with other institutions. If you could
be more specific about the type of collaboration, we would be grateful; for
us having student data is a very valid resource for our research to make
Dr. Scratch better. We could schedule a conference call if required.

  Regarding Dr. Scratch, we have published several papers on its inner
functioning, that are available through the internet (see [1]). It would be
difficult to make something similar for Python, as Python is a
general-purpose language.

  looking forward to hearing back from you.

  regards, Gregorio
