OpenRaster load/save handler
OpenRaster is an effort by the Create project[1] to offer a standardized and open interchange format for raster-based applications. MyPaint and Drawpile (SVN version) uses this format by default, and Krita and gegl should be able to use it. Now GIMP can too! This plug-in will be in GIMP 2.7.1+ If you are using such a version, please use the provided plugin instead of this one.
DOWNLOAD FROM HERE:
http://gitorious.org/openraster/gimp-plugin-file-ora/blobs/raw/master/fi...
INSTALLING:
You will need Python support for GIMP.
Move the file to GIMPs plug-in directory to install.
On GNU/Linux, make sure the file has executable permissions.
On Windows, see "What do I need to do to get Python scripts to work?" in
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/faq.html for how to get Python support.

How I got this working on Windows
Hey guys, for all the people struggling to get this working when they just want to go back to painting, heres how i did it:
1. Install ActivePython 2.6 from http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads
NOTE: Make sure you get 2.6 and NOT higher! I got activepython instead of normal python because they didnt
have the 2.6 windows installer at python.org. It still works, dont worry.
2. Download the all-in-one GTK bundle at http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html and install it.
for 32 bit windows, use
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.24/pygtk-all-in-on...
NOTE: Again, make sure you are getting one for python 2.6!
3. Reinstall the latest STABLE version of gimp (2.6 currently). I spent alot of time trying to get the portable development
versions to work (like 2.7 or gimp paint studio 2.7) but failed. (also cant get graphics tablet to work with those)
Check that you have python working by looking for Python-Fu under Filters.
4. Easiest step, drag the fileora.py plugin to your plugins folder. you can find this by going to
C:\Users\\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins
5. You should now be able to load and save ORA files. :)
If this wasnt comprehensive enough for you, check out:

Does anyone have a compiled EXE of this? Windows doesn't like it when I try to compile.
is not needed what is needed is python
Script are not to be compiled
BUT Py script as this need the Gimp python module installed
It is possible also in Windows this should make easier,

Loading the MyPaint
Loading the MyPaint OpenRaster sample file works, but saving fails with the generic "plug-in couldn't save the image" message.
I don't have an envrionment suitable for researching this any further right now, but I'll try to get more specific once I've tried this on my development systems.
