1. Is there a lump of skeleton plugin code which can be used as the
basis for new development projects?
My FileViewer might be pretty basic, but covers displaying a text on the
player menu interactively (setMode) as well as in screensaver mode.

2. Are there any docs available to say which parts of SlimServer
constitute an "API", and which are internal?
No. Subs starting with an underscore are internal, all the rest may be
used - at your own risk.
for other plugins, but there's no guarantee that they're not using
nasty tricks
Lack of the above mentioned API documentation there are no nasty tricks
:-).
4. I wonder which forum would be best suited for discussions about
plugin development?
Development.
do all you developers write your
plugins in isolation?
No, I'm copying silently from the others' code ;-).
BTW: the plugin handling is going to change considerably in 7.0. What
you're _learning_ now won't be completely lost. But prepare for some
incompatibilities.
