My first thought is that MrEd would need to be distributed with the Gimp (from what I can tell, it's currently only available bundled with DrScheme) and then I could write an interface specific to this system rather than relying on the existing DrScheme program, which does a lot we don't need. That would fit with the work I've already done, as creating a new interface is something I looked into last summer but didn't have time to finish. I'd then want to convert the system from relying on the script-fu server to directly interacting with the procedure database. The server was pretty clearly not designed to do some of the things we want from it, and I think this would help make it less fragile.
The concern I have with this plan is I don't know how reasonable it would be to add MrEd as a dependency. Maybe there are other strategies?

Hi Lorelei, thanks for the information. The ideas on the Wiki page are only
suggestions, and you shouldn't take them as the only possibilities. My
immediate thought is that, from a purely selfish gimp-o-centric point of
view, the big win for us would be to leverage your impressive scheme
background, rather than getting you into a project where most of it would
be new and you'd have a hard time completing it. I wonder whether there
is any possibility of doing something like packaging the interface your
group developed to make it broadly available?
Anyway, Kevin is our Scheme expert, and Yosh is our Python expert,
so I leave it to them to respond more specifically.
(If you are interested in batting around ideas, I invite you to visit
the gimp irc channel, #gimp on irc.gimp.org.)
