I realize this may be a bit of a drag on things but a few other developers and I have actually been working on a similar project for a little while now:
https://github.com/ProLoser/BakingPlate/wiki
It actually does what your project does, with a lot more features (read the comment on your bakery article). However I don’t ignore the fact that your script takes a slightly different approach.
My main point is that there were at a previous time a few different ‘project starters’ floating around (for instance http://cakeplate.posterous.com/) and it gets frustrating when all of them tend to fall apart.
Although development has been slow lately, the code is fairly stable and I intend to add a Cake2 conversion very soon.
The long and short of it is however that I would be interested in finding more collaborators to fold their work into this project. Lots of projects are fine too, but it helps to have defacto solutions people can rely on.
I just thought I’d put that out there, check out the features and the few wiki pages I spent time putting together.
