* TomW said that this is our goal.
* Kaba said that the training at the MUG Meeting was a good start, but we need more examples and more of Jon's functions to help people with scripting.
* JonB & Becky commented that Kaba's example script on the forum is a great example.
* TomW added that Python is the choice of AWIPS and very robust. (e.g. Allows a grid to be subtracted from a satellite ir value for example.)
