People have been noticing the sad state of Extension System documentation frequently. I think we should change this. I've started reorganizing things on the wiki.
I've taken an old mail from Ted and pasted it at: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ExtensionArchitecture Never seen a clearer description!
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ScriptingHOWTO describes in general terms what is needed to write a script/program in any language that communicates with inkscape as a Script extension.
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/MakingAnINX will be home to a description of the INX format. Ted or anybody else do you have the INX DTD that I had worked up way back when? I can't seem to find it.
The last step will be to create a page describing the helper modules for extension writers who choose to use python. :-)
It is just a start, but I hope we can clear things up and reduce the barriers for contribution.
Comments?

The above could probably use with a link to the doxygen docs that Ted made for the extensions code.

Verrry nice.

Yes, agreed. Also it would be nice to get some help building more awareness of the howto once it's in place (rejon?)
