I can probably help out some. If don't mind though, I would rather have the discussion on the Inkscape developers list so that everyone can get copies of the messages -- it also shows up in Google when people are searching for information.
The bigest problem is: I don't find the INX documentation. :-/ I don't know if has an select type and how can i define this... And some other doubts...
Well, it isn't documented :) There are quite a few examples though. Basically the file has three types of data. - General information about the extension - Info about the implementation - Info about what the extension can do (output, input, effect)
I will talk about the Inkscape during one hour on an GNU/Linux event and I think an good "Extension How To" and "Inkscape Extension Interface Documentatin" will help to get new extension developers. :-)
That's great! New extensions would be awesome. There is always room for more (now that we have submenus ;) )

Yes, it would be great if you could add your documentation to our wiki so that we can better document extensions and get others on-board. There are so many extensions that need to be made that are super low-hanging fruit.
Great!
