While I have not developed an extension, I found the repository at 
https://github.com/RackerWilliams/OpenStack-Extensions useful for 
understanding how they works.  In particular, the apix-intro.pdf at the 
root and the content of the presentations directory. 

Hope this helps.

Is there any documentation on plugin development?
Just looked around contrib directory in the nova github repository as you 
mentioned, and there is almost nothing there, or at least nothing that 
will help me to understand how plugin should be developed.

No, OpenStack API plugins are just python modules loaded in special 
middleware by nova-api. For example, you can look 
in nova/api/openstack/contrib/ directory.

You must write unit tests for your code. Also, you can not be merged in 
trunk, if your code does not pass tests.

Hi!
I'm new to OpenStack and I wanted to develop a plugin, like Atlas load 
balancing. Hopefully this is the right mailing list.

I couldn't find information on plugin development, so I assume plugins are 
actually individual applications that integrate with openstack through 
APIs. Is that right?
That means I can develop the plugin in whatever language I feel 
confortable with and that's all? Do I need to have in mind any specific 
consideration?

Regard testing... how do you guys deal with testing? Do I have to install 
openstack on my dev machine in order to run my plugin tests?

Thanks,
Jonathan
