Hi there, I will leave some of your questions unanswered, as there are people here who know more than I do, and I could popssibly say the wrong thing.

We meet mostly at the IRC - GIMPNet, #gimp.

It is tehre, and work can be done in it, however. > > Is there a way of refreshing python scripts without restarting??. Just change the script in disk and re-run it. Unlike script-fu plug-ins, Python-fu scripts register as normal plug-ins to the GIMP,and are re-read from the disk each time they are executed. > > > Im thinking I should probably just go wuith scheme since its the > default... but Id liek some feedback on this one. I personally would feel gratefull if you would go with Python. Some of the developers, perhaps most of them, seem to prefer Scheme - But GIMP Python is functional, and I plan to help turning it along the next months. Actually, if you are searching a place to start hacking in the GIMP, the GIMP Python plugin could be a good place. :-) The GIMP is in the proccess of feature-freeze for a release before the end of the year. (v. 2.2). Possibly GIMP-Python will get a stand-alone module on the Gnome-CVS so it can be improved in independent cycles. A ggod place to know what needs to be done in the codebase is bugzilla.gnome.org - search for pending bugs for gimp 2.2 release. Regards, JS -><-
