Matthew I personally found the DateTime screensaver a very straight-forward starting point/example.
As for plugin development, I just restart SlimServer each time. Luckily it starts up in a few seconds on my machine. I disable any unnecessary plugins to speed it up every little bit. I also run it from the command line so I can see what's going on and enable -d_plugin debugging. Control-C quickly brings it down and then I just up arrow/enter to start it up again (after waiting a couple seconds for everything to close nicely). This is on a XP machine.
