I'm not sure any of them would be exactly what Tux Paint needs.
Tux Paint's API would be an X,Y location (or pair of, for mouse motion)
which are meant to affect the current canvas.  Most Gimp plugins affect
the current layer or selection, and often require additional user input
(e.g., "you want to blur... how much?   [ 3 ] [OK]" :) )

0.9.17 was released on July 1st.  I posted to tuxpaint-news.
Oops, I need to post to tuxpaint-users, too.

So busy on the train on Tues/Thurs, working full time 5 days a week,
and with a baby at home, that I don't get much online time to do the kind
of PR I used to.

I do subscribe to Google's Blog Search for "tuxpaint OR 'tux paint'",
and noticed a lot of software sites and software and personal blogs
mentioning the new release, and hit a few of the standard sites
(freshmeat, linuxgames, etc.)
