Yes of course the python wrapper to gcompris needs some improvement for 
beginners...
But I think I will try to create a small tutorial  from the sample 
application I am working on.
Once this is done, I will merge the two documents.

Nice idea that will simplify the process of creating new boards.
Maybe adding a "tools" or "utils" directory in the gcompris's tree with 
such scripts will be a good solution.

But I do not know if a script that adds a new board directly to the 
gcompris tree is the best solution.
Maybe creating a template application that compil and install from 
itself will be also a good idea.
This way, we can think about independant gcompris plugins like xmms plugins.
They can be maintained by someone other than only you  :)

The only issue I foresee comes with i18n: the plugin should handle this 
itself.
If you want, I will try this way of doing.
