I am the author of the Syrinx ASP.NET server control for the CKEditor and just published a guide on creating CKEditor 3.x plug-ins. Its just a first draft and should tripple in size before I would call it "version 1.0 complete", however it should provide a good understanding on how plug-ins work and how to get started.
http://www.kusog.org/articles/OtherJavaScriptLibraries_WritingCustomCKEditorPlugins.aspx
I'd really appreciate feedback from those who are starting to write plug-ins for the new environment. Please keep in mind that this document is not done (i.e., please be gentle with harsh comments ). I've marked areas where I will expand the discussion, but its already 7 pages of content in my word document.
If you find something confusing, or inacurate, please let me know here in this thread.
Thanks all!

Re: New CKEditor 3.x Plug-In Guide Available!
Two quick comments:
The name is CKEditor, not CK Editor
And by default it tries to automatically translate the content, and so it's impossible to read. Can you disable the translation?

This document assumes you under javascript

Isn't it JavaScript rather than javascript?
Good so far
Re: New CKEditor 3.x Plug-In Guide Available!
I did make a few typos
I need to wrap the code in divs marked with no translate so that the translator tool doesnt screw it up like it is now. However, you can switch to english with the culture drop down at the top left of the window.
The language is being translated by google translate,but I think I am screwing up the content breaks and sometimes am sending half a sentence in one call and the other half in the next and then combining the results. I will fix that ASAP as well as the translation hitting up the code too.
Thanks for the feedback so far. I should have a new drop of the document today.

I have updated the document with more on how to build plugins with CKEditor dialogs. This is a work in progress, but it is growing.
I have fixed the dreaded bug where the code snippets get converted to other languages (and thus unreadable) when viewing the documentation in languages other than English.

Re: New CKEditor 3.x Plug-In Guide Available!
Is it possible to sticky this thread? I think it would be beneficial to have it on top of the topics list in the forum. Or maybe have new section only for guides/tutorial threads?

Just a suggestion
Re: New CKEditor 3.x Plug-In Guide Available!
Great guide, but how do you make a button on a modal dialog return some text to the CKEditor instance? I couldn't see that anywhere in the guide.
Thanks

Who's got the skills to revise this for CKEditor?
