Extending Helm about helm HOT 5 CLOSED

@bbatsov Do you want advices and examples about helm plugin creation?
For the wiki I would like to have two separate sections, one for user usage, and one for helm developping.
Plugin creation would go there.
I haven't started helm dev documentation, what you can find in the pdf doc is only related to user usage.

Yep, I noticed that. For the plugin creation I'd suggest a simple example mentioned along with the guidelines, as well as few notes on the naming convention and the organization of the plugin source file, possible caveats (like my problem with volatile) and some instructions on how to get the plugin hosted under the emacs-helm organization.

As for the PDF - it would be nice if you deleted the irrelevant portions of it (because I don't know yet which they are) and I can help you by converting it to a wiki page here. You can also count on me for the editing and reviewing process of the developer documentation.

As soon I possible, I will provide infos on this.
Now too busy with splitting helm-config.el.

Same here

developer documentation.
Many thanks for your help.

I think it would be very useful. Any update on that?

No, I have really no time left to improve helm documentation actually, maintaining helm eat a lot of time dedicated to this.
Also updating the plugin documentation would have no sense without a full documentation for developping application in helm, and the plugin code will receive changes when I will take the time to do it, so better waiting for this.
