I think too the extensions should be documented somehere inside inkscape itself; perhaps adding a good-old help browser to the program. A way of adding documents to the help as easy as dropping extensions in a directory would be great.

I was thinking in something like the program in the photo. There, the tutorials, the documentation for user extensions and any other stuff can be grouped together; I know the idea is quite old, but still seems good to me. Ignoring  the another-dependency problem, it might be done using pygtk and a (quite easy to implement, as I could note) python front-end for the inkscape SVGView widget.  (which can also be used to provide a more flexible ui to extensions, previsualization included).
