Thanks, that's a fun and useful script, imho a good addition to 
Blender.  Nice work : ).

The idea is to have enough interested people here coordinating that, but 
we need people to jump in and participate.

We should use the elysiun python & plugins forum, too.  But maybe it's 
better to wait a little more till we update the menus available for 
scripts in Blender (add menus, define a naming convention) and get the 
hang of how we'll proceed before we (possibly) get flooded with too many 
offers.

For now, we can simply email the bf list or point to your script at the 
freenode irc meeting next Sunday, it looks like a perfect candidate to 
start.

(hint) The forum is a great place to get opinions about your script that 
can also help getting it added to Blender.

About your script, I found just one minor problem: two deprecation 
warnings (that print garbage on the console) at lines 114 and 115, that 
should be easy to fix (note conversions to int() below):

    T_PresetRef = Menu(PresetRefMenu, EVENT_PRCHANGE, 10,270,150,18, 
int(T_PresetRef.val), "Select a Reference Preset")
    T_PresetCol = Menu(PresetColMenu, EVENT_PCCHANGE, 160,270,150,18, 
int(T_PresetCol.val), "Select a Color Preset")

The doc string is good, maybe you could add some hints there, too, like 
how far to put the lamp or some other thing you consider relevant.

I'd also like to suggest that you check the area's size and if it's e.g. 
at least 1.5 times wider than taller, put the bottom half of the gui to 
the right of the upper half, so people can also use it in an horizontal 
buttons win space, for example.  Just being a little picky -- I really 
enjoyed your script, Michael.
