I suppose the first question here should be stability and reliability or 
features?

How much can be done by scripts, is it more possible to add new features, 
rather than make orca more reliable? I would have thought it would be easier 
to script new features, so may be the team should concentrate more on 
stability, reliability, and the core, and users should write scripts and 
contribute those to add to the features.

Where is a good resource on orca scripting, I don't think there was that 
much when I started with orca, and if there is still a lack may be docs on 
that would be useful.
