I liked the PDF version, nice structure. Assuming the functions are the same, etc., why can't be incorporate it? I don't understand the length argument. It always comes down to " we are just a manual and a reference, not a book". But then, the script-fu chapter should be two lines: a link to Scheme language reference and "read function comments to learn what they do". I like that the tutorial addresses the object model of GIMP - image/drawable, etc. That's what we need. As to who will incorporate, I don't know.
To me the length is of no importance as long as it is easy to find what I needs. So my cropping or linking suggestions was just meant as a suggestion just in case somebody thought it was a better solution than  incorporating the tutorial in the manual. Sorry for being a bit inaccurate.
I will welcome the tutorial(s).

I am impressed. Although I only have read the tutorials without trying to write the scripts. The tutorials are well written. The examples will be of good use to many GIMP users I think.

I think this tutorial should be accessible in some way to the users taking interests in using scrips. Perhaps this tutorial is too long to be incorporated as a part of the documentation. May be a cropped version with links to full version would be a solution?
I assume that the script functions will be available and unchanged in the v 2.8.
Somebody take the challenge and writes the tutorials in "GIMP documentation style"?

Hello,

I really appreciate the help documentation and the Gimp application in general. I thought it would be good for me to try to give something back. I focused on something that I struggled with, scripting with script-fu. I found that a lot of the help didn't quite get me to where I wanted to go. I thought about how I would improve the documentation to tell the story a better, and I felt that for me it was easier to just start with a clean sheet and lay it out.

I would like to offer my take on a Gimp Scripting tutorial for use as part of the Gimp documentation. You may use all of, part of, or none of it as you see fit. It is my hope that this can benefit others, but I have no other forum or place to post this tutorial. You or we can make what ever modifications to the code examples or text to make the explanation clearer or add any copyright required for release with Gimp.

The tutorial is under my spideroak share at:
