Excellent question!
The honest answer is "I'm not sure". However, we have a pretty active
group, with active leadership.  We've pretty much decided to focus our
efforts on getting StemBuilder working, with any luck we'll see it
finished in a month or two. 

The current version sort of works, but we're going to convert it to use
JavaScript instead of Python. Not because Python is "bad", but because
JavaScript is the "lightest" scripting language. 

By light we mean small enough to ship with the Entity distribution, so
it has been chosen to be the Entity "default" scripting language.

So we have to do some work with it yet :) 

BTW: Most of the Entity maintainers hang out on IRC at irc.gimp.org in
#entity. Feel free to drop by if you'd like to ask us questions.
