My brother (and also myself) would like to have perspective skewing... Now since I don't know the first thing about programming, he'll do the job, and would like to use extensions for this. Now we don't really get them working (I don't see the extension entry in the menu bar in the first place), I'd like to have some input on how they work, or how to get them running.
It was my understanding that someone was working on the ultimate transformation code for Inkscape proper. So perspective transforms might appear sooner or later.
I don't think there is a complete, up-to-date document on working with extensions quite yet. There needs to be. There should be quite a bit of information in the mailing list archives because I've asked a lot of questions. I've recorded some of my fumblings and a few examples, in case it could help someone.

The two best references I've found were: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/inkscape/inkscape/doc/extension_system... http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ExtensionArchitectureProposals
If you have a specific question, I might be able to help.
