I need to but my sever was down. :-) I think what you should probably add to the home page is something like “SkratchPad is not out break anyone’s Wordpress experience.” Have you submitted most of the modifications to the Wordpress code to Wordpress it probably would make Wordpress better too (that also may be better for you too. :-) !).

Some people are quick to jump to conclusions. Though, it's exactly the same reason why I haven't tried to promote too much similar "meta" frameworks I've developed, mostly for persoanl use, on top of things like Ruby on Rails and WordPress. The creators of the apps/frameworks, often, I believe, would feel like you are trying to coast off all of their hard work, which really isn't the goal of releasing such things.
