You can plug it in there anytime. If in doubt just add it in as experimental 
or so.

The Readme should have the details on the supported minimum versions.
Apart from this, it develops of course. There have been a few people trying
Thuban with wx 2.8, but we have not dropped wx 2.6 compatibility yet 
(conciously).

importMP/importMP.py  misses header as far as I can see.
Each file should have a header with author and copyright information.

It would be cool, though not required, if you'd put in some more comments
about the plugin, what it is, where the format is described and all this.
Could even go into the Manual.
(My plan is to add a button that the manual can be directly reached from the 
main menu, because it is nice.)

Looking forward to it. :)
