The most common and thus most (somewhat) documented plugins are the
import/export plugins.  Others are possible, but so few have tried to do
anything with plugin that the infrastructure is weak.  

There's a bit of info on the faemilia.org TWiki, which was the first
Wiki where I could put Dia information:

It really should be moved to the live.gnome.org Wiki now.
