Wow-
I am drowning here. Having an idea of python might have helped, but I know enough other languages I figured I could figure this out as I went...
Is there a "Hello Word" extension example or documentation anywhere?
Here's a simple extension I wrote a short while ago in response to someone who wanted bounding boxes automatically added to their document. All it does is find the bounding box of each selected object and create a rectangle at that location and size (and groups the created rectangles). It uses the query-another-Inkscape method of finding the bounding boxes, which unfortunately makes it quite slow for lots of objects. But it should give you a nice example of how to do it.
