Outlining text in GIMP is a bit of a pain. You have to do several manual steps to get a nice looking outline around your text.

Furthermore, you either have to rasterize the Layer for the outline, which makes the text unmodifiable.

Or, you have to manage a second outline Text Layer, and redo the whole process if you want to make any adjustments to the text.

This plugin automates all of that via a Filter, and makes it easy to re-outline the Text Layer after you make changes.
