Chandler would like developers to be able to add functionality to Chandler using what we call parcels. There's an explanation of an example parcels at http://chandler.osafoundation.org/fordevelopers.php Vera tells me those particular instructions are out of date, but the main concepts are still accurate. Out of the box Chandler ships with several simple bits of functionality packaged up as parcels, so you'll probably want to look at some of that code, too. If you've checked out Chandler using Subversion, those sample parcels live in CHANDLERHOME/projects (confusingly, the parcels directory contains most of Chandler's code, not what most people would think of as plugins).
