Hi Brynn,
What would be a really good outreach is if you contact the author of the medium.com article and ask him if he'd like to improve the inkscape.org extension guide with the information he's written on his blog.
that way we don't have to link to something that might disapear for information we should certainly have the best of on our website and we potentially invite a new contributor to help out on the official pages.
Thoughts?
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi Friends (Maren, Martin), I've been wondering whether it might be a good idea to have a link to the guide to writing extensions, which recently was mentioned in a message on the dev list (https://medium.com/@xaviju/inkscape-extensions-by-non-developers-for-non-dev...) somewhere on the website. Maybe either on the Develop page, or on the new Extensions page? And since I just came across another less technical kind of guide: http://www.hoboes.com/Mimsy/hacks/write-inkscape-extension-create-multiple-d..., I'm motivated to bring up the issue here. Should they be listed/linked? I think they both serve as simple examples, which potentially could help new extension-writers. Or would they just be in that category of more links that are prone to bitrot? Just a thought. I'll be glad to make the edits, if everyone else agrees.
All best, brynn
