No. I think I remember we discussed this a few month ago. The final decision was, to have a separate directory (/usr/share/geany-plugins/), since geany-plugins is another project than geany itself. There already are some plugins saving their data there, so I'd recommend you to do it the same.

This confuses me a bit. I was sure plugin data should be installed
in /usr/share/geany-plugins/ (and maybe a subdirectory). Maybe I'm wrong
with this, so feel free to correct me.

For adding your plugin to the geany-plugins project, you may like to
ping hyperair on IRC, he actually maintains such things. You don't have
to do it yourself, IIRC. :)
