Thanks for the response. I'd certainly like to see our work, which we called DrFu, become more widely used, but I'm not sure what it would take. Right now setting it up involves having both the GIMP and DrScheme installed separately, getting our files into the right directories, and then using a script that opens both programs and gets them communicating.
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?
