In talking with Aaron a while back he mentioned that sometimes it is hard to come up with ideas for good effects.
Look at other software, look at the myriad of suggestions in the bug tracker Look at what people are doing and find ways to streamline a process or artistic style (okay I see you mention this second point yourself).
For what it is worth I was reading up on Adobe Illustrator CS and saw it introduced a Scribble Effect which I thought was pretty interesting. http://www.adobe.com/tips/ill11scribble/main.html
Abneil Software Adobe Illustrator Plugins http://www.graphicxtras.com/products/aiplugins.htm
I guess I should add this information to the OtherProjects page in the Wiki ... (but by all means feel free to help out and do it first if you are interested in gather information on interesting effects).
Does anyone have any notions about
The GIMP for Windows supports older Adobe Photoshop 8bf plugins, does anyone have any thoughts on Inskcape ever supporting Adobe Illustrator plugins? Perhaps a standard for Tools/Effects/Plugins could be developed to help share work between inkscape and other projects.
Certainly lots of interesting challanges for any developers interested and with the right kind of management users could be encourage to sort and collect all sorts of information about what kinds of plugins and Effects out there are the most interesting of popular.
